Can superficial veins be used as a drainage path in deep venous injuries?

Abstract

Peripheral vascular injuries are frequently encountered traumas that require emergency intervention. Rapid recognition of vascular injury, fluid replacement, blood transfusion, and early revascularization are very critical in the potential prevention of mortality, extremity loss, and functional defect. In the present report, we aimed to emphasize the importance of arterial and superficial venous and also deep venous revascularizations on the mortality and morbidity of a patient with burts vascular injuries.
