Trafik Kazası Yaralanmasına Bağlı Alt Ekstremite Dolaşım Bozukluğu Olan Hastanın Sıralı Kompozit Greft Kullanılarak Revaskülarizasyonu: Olgu Sunumu
Abstract
Traffic accidents are the most common cause of the lower extremity injury among the young adults. Circulatory problems due to vascular injury, such as total or partial rupture of venous and arterial system are the significant cause of the morbidity related to this kind of trauma. In these cases, revascularization should be the first option to rescue the extremity unless the patient is stable; otherwise, amputation can be performed. Here we reported a patient with multifragment fracture of femur, wide destruction of the soft tissue and popliteal artery injury of the left lower extremity due to the traffic accident, who was treated with late synchronous revascularization with composite graft and saphenous vein.
