Chirurg. 2021 Apr 7. doi: 10.1007/s00104-021-01390-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince the beginning of the twentieth century and the implementation of anesthesia and antisepsis, the knowledge and possibilities in treatment of vascular injury has continuously improved. We are currently experiencing improvements in the preclinical management due to various damage control procedures. Depending on the type of vascular injury (blunt, sharp, with or without defect) the treatment can be conservative in individual cases but in most cases endovascular or open vascular surgery is necessary. In the twenty-first century the surgical treatment by direct suture or replacement of the vessel by a graft is increasingly being supplemented by various endovascular procedures.PMID:33825932 | DOI:10.1007/s00104-021-01390-0
