Currently, all recognized vascular injuries are repaired before leaving Iraq or Afghanistan. Extremity injuries are prevalent, accounting for the majority of reconstructive vascular surgery performed. Abdominal and chest injuries are less frequent in US forces than in local population, most likely because of the use of body armor. Increased use of tourniquets, modern advances in damage control resuscitation, and use of temporary vascular shunts are factors of increased survival. Use of autogenous or prosthetic grafts, vascular shunting, diagnostic imaging, and negative pressure wound therapy should continue to be encouraged. All of these advances contributed to an increase in amputation-free survival rates.

Although methods for ligation came into use in the second century, this knowledge was lost during the Dark Ages and did not come back until the Renaissance. Many advances in vascular surgery occurred during the Balkan Wars, World War I, and World War II, although without antibiotics and blood banking, the philosophy of life over limb still ruled. Documenting and repairing both arteries and veins became more common during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Increased documentation has revealed that the current conflicts have resulted in more arterial injuries than in previous wars, likely because of improved body armor, improvised explosive device attacks, tourniquet use, and improved medical evacuation time. This brief review emphasizes the great value of mentorship and the legacy of the management of arterial and venous injuries to be passed on.</p>","PeriodicalId":87201,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in vascular surgery and endovascular therapy","volume":"23 1","pages":"7-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1531003511403496","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29824921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The low incidence of vascular trauma, combined with lack of regional trauma systems, works against optimal delivery of care to the polytrauma patient. Providing care, robust data capture, and opportunities for training and education in vascular injury lag behind other elective domains of vascular practice. The challenge is to define ideal care pathways, referral networks, and standards of practice and to integrate the care of such patients. In 2010, a trauma system for London was introduced; it has provided vascular surgeons with a unique opportunity to study and advance the care of patients with vascular injury.
