[Clinical treatment of traumatic false aneurysm and arteriovenous fistula]. 1989

L T Ma

In this article, treatment of 41 cases of traumatic false aneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas are reported. The methods consist of arterial ligation in 6 cases, end-to-end anastomosis in 5 cases, prosthesis or autogenous vein grafts in 9 cases, "Flying Kite" technique by muscular embolism in 5 cases, vascular embolism by means of the spring-coil in 14 cases, direct operation combined with vascular embolism in 1 case, and breaking blood stream by the balloon catheter at first, then embolism by the spring-coil through retrograde catheterization and finally removal of false aneurysm in 1 case. Indications and advantages of the varied methods are discussed.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D000783	Aneurysm	Pathological outpouching or sac-like dilatation in the wall of any blood vessel (ARTERIES or VEINS) or the heart (HEART ANEURYSM). It indicates a thin and weakened area in the wall which may later rupture. Aneurysms are classified by location, etiology, or other characteristics.

D001164	Arteriovenous Fistula	An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.

D020212	Carotid Artery Injuries	Damages to the CAROTID ARTERIES caused either by blunt force or penetrating trauma, such as CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; THORACIC INJURIES; and NECK INJURIES. Damaged carotid arteries can lead to CAROTID ARTERY THROMBOSIS; CAROTID-CAVERNOUS SINUS FISTULA; pseudoaneurysm formation; and INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY DISSECTION.
