What diseases can vascular injury complicate?

summary

Vascular injury is caused by traffic accident, explosion injury, stab injury, etc., which may lead to carotid artery or combined with jugular vein injury. The most common injuries were lateral wall injury, laceration or rupture. The symptoms include wound bleeding or cerebral nerve dysfunction, local palpable hematoma. If the cervical artery is transected and accompanied with severe neurological signs, even if the arterial laceration is repaired surgically, the neurological function will not be recovered due to the long time of cerebral ischemia. So, what diseases can cervical vascular injury cause?

What diseases can vascular injury complicate?

1. Blood vessels in the neck can cause bleeding, which can lead to death. It can also lead to hematomas. After the formation of hematoma, it can gradually expand and oppress the respiratory tract, resulting in dyspnea. In addition, it can also cause thrombosis, which often occurs after vascular repair and transplantation. Embolus shedding can cause cerebral blood circulation disorders, resulting in death or transient central nervous system defects, such as hemiplegia, vision loss or permanent blindness.

2. Arteriovenous fistula is caused by the injury of parallel arteries and veins, on which continuous systolic murmur can be heard The formation of pseudoaneurysm is caused by partial laceration of vascular wall or laceration of intimal layer. Blood flows from the defect of artery to the space of surrounding tissue to form hematoma. The space containing blood may expand and rupture, or the blood clot may become the wall of connective tissue and become a mass with systolic pulsation.

3. After the injury of the true aneurysm, the arterial wall in the weak part of the aneurysm expands outwards and also has systolic pulsation. But different from pseudoaneurysm, the vessel wall is not ruptured, but gradually expanded outward. Angiographically, pseudoaneurysms were delayed in emptying after filling; The filling and emptying of true aneurysms were faster
