Abstract

From 1987 to 2001, 72 patients With a delayed diagnosis of an arterial injury in the extremity and neck were treated at our department. The median delay between injury and diagnosis was 4.3±14.6 (12 riours-7 years) months. Forty-eight patients were seen by physicians of different disciplines and different levels of training. According to analysis of histories and the records of patients, 41 patients didn't have hard signs of vascular injury at the time of initial evaluation after trauma. Surgical exploration was performed in 7 patients. Diagnosis was, delayed because of social reasons in 24 patients. Complications of missed arterial injuries included the following: pseudoaneurysm, 23 (42%); arteriovenous fistula, 18 (26%); occlusion, hemorrhage and hematoma, 30 (42%). The superficial femoral artery (n=19) was the most commonly injured vessel. The remaining arteries included the following: carotid, 4; subclavian, 2; axillary, 4 brachial, 8; radial or ulnar, 6; glutealis superior, 1; common femoral, 4; profunda femoris, 3; popliteal, 15; tibi-operoneal, 5. Sixty-six patients had penetrating wounds (24 stab wounds, 22 gunshot, 14 shutgun, 6 fragments), only 6 patients had blunt trauma. All patients underwent surgery. Three (4%) patients underwent amputation. Mortality; was 4% (3 cases), Traumatic arterial injuries can result in serious delayed complications months or even years after the injury. Prompt diagnosis and definitive treatment are essential in preventing the late sequelae of untreated vascular injuries including arterial occlusion, hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula.

Özet

Kliniğimizde 1987-2001 yılları arasmda ekstremite ve boyunda arteriyel yaralanması olan ve geç tanı konulan 72 hasta tedavi edildi. Yaralanma ve tanı arasındaki ortalama gecikme süresi 4.3±14.6 (12 saat-7 yıl) aydır. Kırksekiz hasta farklı branş ve eğitim seviyelerindeki hekimler tarafından görülmüştü. Hasta öyküsü ve kayıtlarına göre bu hastaların 41'inde travma sonrası ilk başvuruda vasküler yaralanmanın belirgin bulguları yoktu. Yedi hastaya cerrahi eksprlorasyon yapılmıştı. Yirmidört hasta ise sosyal sebeplerle gecikmişti. Geç tanı konulan arteriyel yaralanmaların komplikasyonlar: pseudoanevrizma, 23 (%42); arteriovenöz fistül, 18'(%26); okluzyon, kahama ve hematom, 30 (%42). En sık yaralanan arter süperfisyal femoral arterdi (n=19). Diğer arterler: carotis, 4; subclavian, 2; axiller, 4; brakial, Stadial veya ulnar, 6; glutealis superior, 1;Kommon femoral, 4; profunda fempris, 3; popliteal, 15; tibioperoneal, 5. Atmışaltı hastada penetran yaralanma (24 kesici-delici alet, 22 yüksek hızlı ateşli silah, 14 düşük hızlı ateşli silah, 6 parça tesirli ateşli silah), yalnız 6 hastada kunt travma vardı. Tüm hastalar cerrahi olarak tedavi edildi. Üç (%4) hastada amputasyon yapıldı. Mortalite %4(3 olgu)'dü. Travmatik arteriyel yaralanmalar olaydan aylar, yıllar sonra bile ciddi geç komplikasyonlara sebep olabilirler; Tedavi edilmemiş vasküler yaralanmaların arteriyel okluzyon, kanama, pseudo-anevrizma ve arteriovenöz fistül gibi geç komplikasyonlarını önlemek için erken tanı ve uygun tedavi esastır.
