Key result

Delayed surgical intervention for peripheral vascular injuries resulted in viable and functional limbs in 77% of patients, with an amputation rate of 8%.

Why the study?

Does delayed surgical intervention improve limb salvage in patients with peripheral vascular trauma?

Population

n=100 patients operated for peripheral vascular injuries, age 5 to 80 years, 86% male. Mean duration of…

Implication

May support delayed repair for limb salvage in vascular trauma; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation.

Type

Observational (n=100)

Structured PICO

Does delayed surgical intervention improve limb salvage in patients with peripheral vascular trauma?

P
Population
100 patients aged 5 to 80 years undergoing surgery for peripheral vascular injuries, excluding those with unsalvageable limbs or severe concomitant injuries.
E
Exposure
Delayed surgical intervention including primary end-to-end vascular repair (45%), embolectomy (15%), or interposition vein graft (40%)
O
Outcome
Final outcome of limb viability and functionalityhard clinical

Delayed surgical intervention for peripheral vascular trauma can achieve high rates of limb salvage (77% viable and functional) even with delayed presentation.

Sherawat et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Peripheral vascular injuries (n=100). Delayed surgical intervention was evaluated on Viable and functional limbs. Delayed surgical intervention for peripheral vascular injuries resulted in viable and functional limbs in 77% of patients, with an amputation rate of 8%.
