Management of blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) in the multisystem injury patient with contraindications to immediate anti-thrombotic therapy

Practice management guidelines for screening and treatment of patients with blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) have been associated with a decreased risk of ischemic stroke. Treatment: of patients with BCVI and multisystem injuries that delays immediate antithrombotic therapy remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the timing of BCVI treatment initiation, the incidence of stroke, and bleeding complications as a result of antithrombotic therapy in patients with isolated BCVI in comparison to those with BCVI complicated by multisystem injuries.
