BACKGROUND: Traumatic vascular injuries of the lower extremity in the pediatric population are uncommon but can result in significant morbidity. The objective of this study is to demonstrate our experience with these injuries by describing patterns of traumatic vascular injury, the initial management, and data regarding early outcomes.
METHODS: In total, 506 patients presented with lower extremity vascular injury between January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2021 to Grady Memorial Hospital, an urban, adult Level I trauma center in Atlanta, Georgia. Thirty-two of the 506 patients were aged less than 18 years and were evaluated for a total of 47 lower extremity vascular injuries. To fully elucidate the injury patterns and clinical course in this population, we examined patient demographics, mechanism of injury, type of vessel injured, surgical repair performed, and early outcomes and complications.
RESULTS: The median (interquartile range) age was 16 (2) years (range, 3-17 years), and the majority were male (n = 29, 90.6%). Of the vascular injuries identified, 28 were arterial and 19 were venous. Of these injuries, 14 patients had combined arterial-venous injuries. The majority of injuries were the result of a penetrating injury (n = 28, 87.5%), and of these, all but 2 were attributed to gunshot wounds. Twenty-seven vascular interventions were performed by nonpediatric surgeons: 11 by trauma surgeons, 13 by vascular surgeons, 2 by orthopedic surgeons, and 1 by an interventional radiologist. Two patients required amputation: 1 during the index admission and 1 delayed at 3 months. Overall survival was 96.9%.
CONCLUSIONS: Vascular injuries as the result of trauma at any age often require early intervention, and we believe that these injuries in the pediatric population can be safely managed in adult trauma centers with a multidisciplinary team composed of trauma, vascular, and orthopedic surgeons with the potential to decrease associated morbidity and mortality from these injuries.
