Özet
Between 1994-2000, 60 peripheral vascular injuries were admitted to the Turgut Ozal Medical Center Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic. Forty eight (80%) of patients were male, twelve (20%) were female and their age ranged from 5 to 70 years (mean 28.9 years). The causes of injuries were related to penetrating device in 34 (56.6%), gun shots in 14 (23.3%), blunt trauma in seven (11.6%) and iatrogenic causes in five(8.3%). Total laceration, partial laceration and pseudoaneurysm were observed in 45 (75%), 14 (23.3%) and one (1.6%) respectively. The localization of injuries were the upper limbs in 34(56.6%) and the lower limbs in 26 (43.4%). The vascular injury localizations in order of frequency were femoral artery in 12 cases (20.75%), radial artery in ten cases (17%), popliteal artery in ten cases (15%), brachial artery in nine cases (15%), axillary artery in nine cases (13.2%), ulnar artery in six cases (11.3%) and tibial artery in four cases(7.4%). There were nearby venous injuries in nine patients (15%) and neural injuries in ten patients (16.6%). The patients' mean admission time to the hospital was 3 hours and 30 minutes and mean operation time for revascularization was within 95 minutes. The operative techniques were autogenous saphenous vein graft interposition in 27 cases (45%), resection and end-to-end anastomosis in 19 cases (31.6%), lateral repair in ten cases (16.6%), synthetic graft insertion in three cases (4.8%) and ligation in one case (1.6%). Our success rate was 98.2% in salvaging the limbs. Mean length of hospital stay was 14.4 days. Mortality was not observed during the hospital stay.
