[War injuries of the blood vessels].
In this article the authors review their personal experience with shotgun injuries to the blood vessels. To date literature demonstrates a significant difference between the military injuries to the blood vessels versus the peacetime ones in the terms of healing. Injuries from high velocity missiles as well as blast injuries produce a massive damage of the tissue, muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, such injuries demand a careful and appropriate primary surgical treatment and urgent revascularization within the ischemic tolerance of the tissue.
