Special problems of vascular injuries in children. 1976

I J Shaker, and J J White, and R D Signer, and E S Golladay, and J A Haller

Vascular injuries in children are not rare. The rising incidence of general trauma in children and the frequent use of diagnostic procedures in this age group may contribute to an overall increase in these injuries. A 10-year experience with severe vascular injuries in children at The Johns Hopkins Hospital has been reviewed. The mechanisms of production may be similar to those in adults, but many injuries are unique to the pediatric age group. The sequelae of such injuries in infants and children may include abnormal growth and development of the involved extremity. Complications and special surgical management of our group of 71 children have been discussed and preventive measures have been suggested.
