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 …

Background: The use of temporary vascular shunts (TVS) s in the management of wartime
extremity vascular injuries has received an increasing amount of attention. However, the …

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 …

Background Temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) may allow quick revascularization and
distal reperfusion, reducing the ischemic time (IT) when an arterial injury occurs …

Experience with temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) for vessel injury comes from the
military sector and while the indications might be clear in geographically isolated and under …

BACKGROUND The indications and outcomes associated with temporary intravascular
shunting (TIVS) for vascular trauma in the civilian sector are poorly understood. The …

Temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) are synthetic intraluminal conduits that maintain
arterial and/or venous blood flow. This technique can be used for: 1) replantation; 2) open …

Background: A 10-year review of temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) at a regional trauma
center. Methods: Retrospective chart review of all patients treated with temporary …

BACKGROUND There exists a long established but not validated practice of placing
temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) in cases of combined vascular and orthopedic …

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 …
