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