Peripheral arterial injuries: a reassessment

H F Burnett, C L Parnell, G D Williams

    Annals of Surgery
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Peripheral arterial injuries often require acute repair. Non-operative treatment increases the risk of late vascular complications, particularly in lower extremities.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Peripheral Arterial Diseases

    Background:

    • Peripheral arterial injuries present complex management challenges.
    • Complications include false aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, and limb ischemia.
    • Outcomes depend on injury severity and treatment timing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze outcomes of acute repair versus late repair of peripheral arterial injuries.
    • To identify factors contributing to treatment failure.
    • To evaluate the correlation between non-operative management and delayed complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 94 patients with peripheral arterial injuries.
    • Categorization of treatments: acute repair, negative exploration, or late repair of complications.
    • Analysis of causes of failure and incidence of delayed complications.

    Main Results:

    • Factors influencing acute repair failure include extensive local damage, concomitant injuries, and inadequate venous repair.
    • Non-operative expectant treatment positively correlates with the incidence of late vascular complications.
    • Delayed complications were most frequent in injuries below the elbow and knee.

    Conclusions:

    • Timely and comprehensive surgical repair is crucial for peripheral arterial injuries.
    • Non-operative management should be carefully considered due to increased risk of late complications.
    • Vigilance for delayed complications is necessary, especially in distal limb injuries.
