Summary

Early surgical intervention for post-traumatic arteriovenous fistulas and pseudoaneurysms leads to excellent outcomes. Prompt operative treatment ensures high patency rates and successful limb salvage in vascular surgery patients.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Diseases

Background:

  • Post-traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AV fistulas) and pseudoaneurysms are serious vascular injuries.
  • These conditions often result from combat or non-combatant trauma.
  • Timely surgical management is crucial for preventing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the surgical treatment outcomes for post-traumatic AV fistulas and pseudoaneurysms.
  • To assess the efficacy of reconstructive versus ligation procedures.
  • To determine the long-term patency and limb salvage rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 53 patients (20 AV fistulas, 33 pseudoaneurysms) treated over 5 years.
  • Surgical interventions included arterial and venous reconstructions or ligations.

  • Patient data included injury type, time to operation, and follow-up outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • 100% postoperative patency rate for reconstructive operations.
    • 96.9% limb salvage rate achieved.
    • No postoperative ischemia occurred following arterial ligation.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt surgical treatment of post-traumatic AV fistulas and pseudoaneurysms is recommended due to rapid disease progression.
    • Good follow-up results support early operative intervention.
    • Vascular reconstruction offers superior outcomes for these traumatic injuries.
