BACKGROUND The use of temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) in the setting of military
and civilian trauma has grown in recent years, predominantly because of the mounting …

Although vascular injuries complicate only 1-2% of patients with orthopedic trauma, they
may be encountered in a much higher rate of around 10% in injuries around the knee and …

Objective The use of temporary intravascular shunts (TIVSs) allow for restoration of distal
perfusion and reduce ischemic time in the setting of arterial injury. As a damage control …

Introduction and importance Vascular injuries to extremities are common in armed conflicts.
Such kind of injury is associated with a high risk of critical ischemia, limb amputation, and …

Objective Despite the increasing use of endovascular therapy for traumatic arterial injuries,
little is known about the outcomes of endovascular repair of superficial femoral artery (SFA) …

Background Acute arterial occlusion of the lower extremity is a time-dependent emergency
that requires prompt revascularization. Lower extremity extracorporeal distal …

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were initially developed to evaluate the efficacy of
streptomycin, subsequently expanded to other interventions within medicine1, 2 and are …

Background Data on management of traumatic lower extreity arterial injuries comes largely
from military experience and involves few civilian centers. This study reports on the …

Introduction We sought to determine the impact of the indication for shunt placement on
shunt-related outcomes after major arterial injuries. We hypothesized that a shunt placed for …

Despite advances in open and endovascular management of trauma, vascular injuries
remain a source of devastating outcomes. This narrative review of the literature between …
