“…This experience supports the early detection of the injured vessel(s) and use of shunts in certain cases as part of an overall strategy in the management of vascular injury. 2,3 Early results of in-theater repair are comparable with contemporary civilian reports and have greatly improved from the Vietnam era. Rapid evacuation and damage control maneuvers, such as temporary shunting and early fasciotomy, assist in timely definitive repair and appear effective.…”
