Many studies have shown that microbubble cavitation is one mechanism for vascular injury under ultrasonic excitation. Previous work has attributed vascular damage to vessel expansions and invagination...
Despite advances in open and endovascular management of trauma, vascular injuries remain a source of devastating outcomes. This narrative review of the literature between 2018 and 2023 explored recent...
The management of a vascular injury during cholecystectomy is still very complicated, especially in centers not specialized in complex hepatobiliary surgery....
This was a multi-institutional retrospective study in patients with vascular injuries during cholecystectomy from 18 centers in 4 countries. The aim of the study was to analyze the management of vascu...
A total of 104 patients were included. Twenty-nine patients underwent vascular repair (27.9%), 13 (12.5%) liver resection, and 1 liver transplant as a first treatment. Eighty-four (80.4%) vascular and...
Vascular lesions during cholecystectomy are a potentially life-threatening complication. Management of referral to specialized centers to perform multiple complex multidisciplinary procedures should b...
Blood donation is a safe process though reactions may still occur. We describe a rare vascular complication in a frequent donor, with improvements in the collection process aimed at avoiding future ev...
A 63-year-old woman presented with local pain and an apparent collection in the left arm 8 days after donation. Duplex ultrasound identified a superficial liquid collection and signs of arteriovenous ...
Investigation showed a faster whole blood bag collection time (3 min; normal: 5-9 min), and the processed packed red blood cell had a brighter red color than usual. The donor reported local bleeding a...
We described an uncommon AP in a donor that was not identified, leading to an AVF that spontaneously thrombosed....
Civilian public mass shootings (CPMSs) are a major public health issue and in recent years several events have occurred worldwide. The aim of this systematic review was to characterize injuries and mo...
A systematic review of all published literature was undertaken in Medline, Embase and Web of Science January 1st, 1968, to February 22nd, 2021, according to the PRISMA guidelines. Literature was eligi...
The search identified 2884 studies; 34 were eligible for inclusion in the analysis. There were 2039 wounded in 45 CPMS events. The dominating anatomic injury location per event was the extremity follo...
This systematic review showed an overall high mortality after CPMS with injuries mainly located to the extremities, thorax and abdomen. About one quarter of deaths was related to hemorrhage involving ...
Although the risk of extremity amputation related to an isolated vascular injury is low, it increases significantly with concomitant orthopedic injury. Our study aims to evaluate and quantify the impa...
A retrospective review of patients with extremity vascular injury presenting to a single level 1 academic trauma center between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2018, was performed. All patients diag...
We identified 250 extremities with major vascular injury in 234 patients. Of these, 216 (86.4%) were male and 34 (13.6%) female. The mean age was 32.2 years (range 18-79 years) and mean follow-up was ...
Concomitant orthopedic injury and blunt mechanism in the setting of vascular injury are associated with a higher likelihood of amputation in patients with extremity vascular injury. Further developmen...
Displaced pediatric tibial tubercle fractures are commonly stabilized with screws directed posteriorly toward neurovascular structures. Here, we (1) characterize the variation of the popliteal artery ...
We retrospectively identified 42 patients (42 knees; 29 female) aged 12-17 years with lower-extremity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at a tertiary academic center. The mean patient age was 14.5 (ran...
The popliteal artery was laterally positioned in all knees. The mean distance between the artery and lateral-most aspect of the tibia at each level ranged from 1.9 to 2.4 cm, and from 2.3 to 3.9 cm fr...
Understanding the position of the popliteal artery in pediatric patients can help when stabilizing tibial tubercle fractures. Because the artery is close to the posterior cortex, a drill exiting in li...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder characterized by collagen synthesis disruption, resulting in joint hyperlaxity, skin and vascular fragility, and bleeding di...
Vascular endothelial injury in diabetes mellitus (DM) is the major cause of vascular disease, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of a series of vascular complications and has a...
Algorithms for management of penetrating cervical vascular injuries (PCVIs) commonly call for immediate surgery with "hard signs" and imaging before intervention with "soft signs." We sought to analyz...
Analysis of PCVIs from the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Prospective Observational Vascular Injury Treatment vascular injury registry from 25 US trauma centers was performed. Patients...
Of 232 PCVI patients, 110 (47%) had hard signs (hemorrhage, expanding hematoma, or ischemia) and 122 (53%) had soft signs. With hard signs, 61 (56%) had immediate operative exploration and 44% underwe...
Although hard signs in PCVIs are associated with the need for operative intervention, initial CT imaging can facilitate endovascular options or nonoperative management in a significant subgroup. Hard ...
