Q

What is the management of patient with lower extremity Soft sign?

A

Complete pulse examination and Doppler pressures.
If the index is < 1.0, a further diagnostic and localization
study should be performed.

The proximity of wound to named vessel alone (without the findings above) should not prompt a localization study.

Q

What arterial injuries do not mandate surgical theraphy

A

injuries that produce no active hemorrhage or distal ischemia:
small (non–flow-limiting) intimal defects and flaps.
small pseudoaneurysms.
small arteriovenous fistulas.

Q

When is endovascular treatmnet is most appropriate in extremity trauma?

A

There is no clear EBM to favore endovascular treatment.

Can be used when the morbidity difference between open and endovascular is greatest:

  • Injuries to junctional vessels (such as the subclavian and iliac).
  • If the traumatic vascular lesion can be safely traversed with a guide wire.
  • Catheter-directed embolization in smaller
    vessels, small pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas of the crural and deep femoral branch arteries.

Q

When would you consider fasciotomy after arterial injury?

A

All patients with restoration of distal perfusion after ischemia. Especially after multiple fractures or arterial injuries is present.
