| Popis: | Inferior vena cava (IVC) injuries occur in 0.5-5% of cases of penetrating abdominal injury. Uncommonly encountered in general surgical and trauma practice, they remain extremely lethal despite advances in resuscitation and critical care. Important factors determining treatment outcomes are the hemodynamic status of the patient at presentation, the level and extent of injury, and the presence of associated injuries. Operative approaches and techniques for definitive repair are to be tailored to the condition of the patient, type of injury, and available expertise. In a patient with severe hemodynamic compromise, damage control principles take priority to stop bleeding and save life. The most commonly employed strategies are venorrhaphy or ligation. Retro-hepatic and supra-hepatic caval injuries are particularly challenging in terms of exposure and repair, and are associated with high fatality. Endovascular approaches are being used in select cases with success. This paper reviews in detail the epidemiology, injury patterns, management protocols, and outcomes of IVC injuries due to penetrating abdominal trauma. |
