  • Title: Vascular trauma in high-velocity gunshot wounds and shrapnel-blast injuries in Israel.
    Author: Wolf YG, Rivkind A.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2002 Feb; 82(1):237-44. PubMed ID: 11905949.
    Abstract:
    High-velocity gunshot and shrapnel-blast vascular injuries pose a great challenge and need to be approached in a systematic, multidisciplinary fashion. Early revascularization with temporary shunts, the use of autologous tissue, major venous reconstruction, a low threshold for fasciotomy, and reliable tissue coverage are the mainstays of management.
