• 1 other identifier: Vascular Trauma
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 65
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the causes of vascular trauma at the extremities, injury characteristics, types of vascular surgical interventions, and the outcomes of traumatic vascular injuries between the upper and lower extremities.

Conditions

Vascular Trauma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Presence of distal pulse or signals by doppler ultrasound

  Presence of distal pulse or signals by doppler ultrasound which indicates technical success of the surgery and patency of the affected artery

  Intraoperative

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Type of the injury in the upper extremities compared with the lower extremities

  Preoperative

• Presentation of the injury in the upper extremities compared with the lower extremities

  Preoperative

• Presence of injury related complications in the upper extremities compared with the lower extremities

  Preoperative

• Presence of postoperative complications in the upper extremities compared with the lower extremities

  Postoperative for 10 days

Study Arms (2)

Upper extremity arterial trauma

Vascular traumatic injuries of the arterial system of the upper limbs.

Lower extremity arterial trauma

Vascular traumatic injuries of the arterial system of the lower limbs.
