Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injuries are uncommon, but the mortality rate remains high at 38-70%. To date, most studies on traumatic IVC injuries have evaluated blunt rather than penetrating injuries. We aimed to identify the clinical features and risk factors that affect the prognosis of patients with blunt IVC injuries to improve treatment strategies for these patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with blunt IVC injury over 8 years at a single trauma center. Clinical and biochemical parameters; transfusion, surgical, and resuscitation methods; associated injuries; intensive care unit stay; and complications data were compared between survival and death groups to identify clinical features and risk factors of blunt IVC injury-related mortality. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients with blunt IVC injury were included during the study periods. Twenty-five (89%) patients underwent surgical treatment, and the mortality was 54%. The mortality rate according to the IVC injury location was the lowest for supra-hepatic IVC injury (25%, n = 2/8), whereas it was the highest for retrohepatic IVC injury (80%, n = 4/5). In the logistic regression analysis, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) (odds ratio [OR] = 0.566, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.322-0.993], p = 0.047) and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion for 24 h (OR = 1.132, 95% CI [0.996-1.287], p = 0.058) were independent predictors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS Low GCS score and high-volume packed RBC transfusion requirements for 24 h were significant predictors of mortality in patients with blunt IVC injuries. Unlike IVC injuries caused by penetrating trauma, supra-hepatic IVC injuries caused by blunt trauma have a good prognosis.

Alzerwi NAN. Effect of the Profit and Teaching Status of Hospitals on the Patterns and Outcomes of Abdominal Aorta and Inferior Vena Cava Injuries after Severe Abdominal Trauma. Emerg Med Int 2023; 2023:5616007. [PMID: 37599812 PMCID: PMC10438973 DOI: 10.1155/2023/5616007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The inferior vena cava (IVC) and the abdominal aorta (AA) are two important blood vessels located in the abdomen. The outcomes of such injuries rely heavily on the experience, expertise, and resources available at the hospital where the patient is treated. However, our current understanding of the potential impact of the hospital profit and teaching status on surgical outcomes in the context of traumatic injuries to the IVC and AA remains limited, making it important to investigate the potential association between these hospital characteristics and patient outcomes to enhance the quality of care and optimize treatment strategies. Objective This study aimed to compare demographics, trauma characteristics, and outcomes between nonprofit status (NPSH) and for-profit hospital status (FPSH), as well as among community hospitals (CHs), nonteaching hospitals (NTHs), and university hospitals (UHs), in patients with severe abdominal trauma and abdominal aorta injury (AAI), inferior vena cava injury (IVCI), and both (AAI + IVCI). Methods Demographics, trauma, and outcome measures associated with AAI, IVCI, and AAI + IVCI were compared between the different profit and teaching status groups using NTDB. Multivariate regression was used to identify independent factors associated with death under care (DUC). Results In the 2017 NTDB-RDS, 1,479 patients met the inclusion criteria, resulting in an overall incidence of 0.17% for AAI, IVCI, and AAI + IVCI after severe abdominal trauma. More patients died under care in the FPSH group than in the NPSH group (nonprofit vs. for-profit: 60.3% vs. 47.2%; P < 0.001). The results indicated that FPSH independently affected DUC. NTH had no significant effect on DUC; although the in-hospital complication rate varied with NTH, no independent association was observed. Conclusions The study findings demonstrated that in patients with severe abdominal trauma, including injuries to AAI, IVCI, or both (AAI + IVCI), the profit status of hospitals, rather than the teaching status, had a substantial influence on DUC. Future studies should examine differences in the volume of cases and levels of trauma centers to better understand how to improve patient outcomes in FPSH.

Abstract
Introduction Pedicle screw fixation (PSF) has been the standard therapy for the treatment of various spinal diseases. Although complications are identified regularly, iatrogenic vascular injury is one of the rare but life-threatening complications. In this literature, we describe the first case of inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during pedicle screw removal. Case description A 31-year-old man was treated by percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for an L1 compression fracture. After a year, the fracture healed well and hardware removal surgery was performed. During the procedure, the hardware on the right was removed unremarkably except for the L2 pedicle screw which slipped into the retroperitoneum because of the improper technique. The CT angiogram revealed the screw had breached the anterior cortex of the L2 vertebral body and penetrated the IVC. After multidisciplinary cooperation, the defect of IVC was reconstructed and the L2 screw was removed from the posterior approach in the end. Result The patient recovered well and was discharged after 3 weeks without further events. The removal of the contralateral implants was unremarkable at 7 months postoperatively. At the 3-year follow-up, the patient returned to his normal daily activity without any complaints. Conclusion Although pedicle screw removal is a rather simple procedure, severe complications may have occurred from this procedure. Surgeons should keep vigilant to avoid the complication noted in this case.

Abstract
Injury to the inferior vena cava (IVC) can produce bleeding that is difficult to control. Endovascular balloon occlusion provides rapid vascular control without extensive dissection and may be useful in large venous injuries, especially in the juxtarenal IVC. We describe the procedural steps, technical considerations, and clinical scenarios for using the Bridge occlusion balloon (Philips) in IVC trauma. We present a single-center case series of 5 patients in which endovascular balloon occlusion of the IVC was used for hemorrhage control. All 5 patients were men (median age 35, range 22 to 42 years). They all sustained penetrating injuries-4 gunshot wounds and 1 stab wound. Median presenting Shock Index was 0.7 (range 0.5 to 1.5). Median initial lactate was 5.4 mmol/L (range 4.6 to 6.9 mmol/L). There were 2 suprarenal IVC injuries, 2 juxtarenal injuries, and 3 infrarenal injuries. Four patients underwent primary repair of their injury, and one underwent IVC ligation. Four patients had intraoperative Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta for inflow control and afterload support. The median number of total blood products transfused during the initial operation was 37 units (range 16 to 77 units). Four patients underwent damage control operations, and one patient had a single definitive operation. Four of the 5 patients (80%) survived to discharge with the lone mortality being due to other injuries. Endovascular balloon occlusion serves as a valuable adjunct in the management of IVC injury and demonstrates the potential of hybrid open-endovascular operative techniques in abdominal vascular trauma.

Abstract
In the United States, gunshot wounds (GSWs) have become a critical public health concern with substantial annual morbidity, disability, and mortality. Vascular injuries associated with GSW may pose a clinical challenge to the physicians in the emergency department. Patients demonstrating hard signs require immediate intervention, whereas patients with soft signs can undergo further diagnostic testing for better injury delineation. Although digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard modality to assess vascular injuries, non-invasive techniques such as Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography have evolved as appropriate alternatives. This article discusses penetrating bodily vascular injuries, specifically ballistic and stab wounds, and the corresponding radiological presentations.

Abstract
In this paper, clinical manifestations of inferior vena cava injuries and the progress of emergency treatment are presented. Inferior vena cava (IVC) is the large vein returning venous blood from the lower limbs and pelvic and abdominal cavities to the right atrium of the heart. The clinical manifestations of IVC injuries include shock, progressive hemorrhage, air embolism, retroperitoneal hematoma, active bleeding, and hemoperitoneum. The patients may be combined or not combined with injuries to other organs or even die. Routine examination methods for IVC injuries include general examination, color Doppler ultrasound, abdominal contrast-enhanced CT, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), and IVC angiography. These examinations are usually performed to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical treatment is the primary emergency treatment for this condition. Increasing the blood volume and symptomatic treatment are auxiliary treatments. The surgeries and repairs for IVC injuries are currently under investigation. Experimental results have verified the exceptional performance of the proposed scheme.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the possibilities and results of reconstruction of caval veins. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed the results of reconstruction of caval veins in 31 patients (19 men and 12 women) including superior vena cava (SVC) in 5 cases and inferior vena cava (IVC) in 26 cases. Penetrating wounds with vascular damage were found in 8 patients. Iatrogenic damage to IVC was observed in 19 patients (nephrectomy for kidney cancer - 2, nephrectomy for secondary kidney wrinkling - 1, echinococcectomy from retroperitoneal space - 1, adrenalectomy for adrenal tumors - 5, right-sided lumbar sympathectomy - 1, resection of abdominal aortic aneurysm - 1, resection of a large retroperitoneal tumor - 6). Iatrogenic damage to SVC occurred in 2 patients during resection of mediastinal tumor. In other 4 cases, elective surgery for mediastinal tumor (1), pancreatic head cancer (2) and liver alveococcosis (1) was accompanied by resection and replacement of caval veins. RESULTS All interventions for caval vein injury were performed under adequate infusion therapy. Seven (22.6%) patients died. One patient with blunt chest trauma and damage to SVC died during thoracotomy. In another patient, infrarenal IVC was intersected during mobilization of retroperitoneal hydatid cyst that required ligation for vital indications. High venous hypertension below the ligature led to eruption of sutures on the venous stump. The patient died from hypovolemia after additional IVC ligation. Other 5 patients died in early postoperative period without leaving the state of shock. These patients had damage to retrohepatic segment of IVC (1), vascular-organ (1) and iatrogenic (3) injuries. One patient died from pulmonary embolism, two patients - from venous bleeding between the 2nd and the 5th postoperative days. Patients died before reoperations. Two patients with postoperative bleeding underwent redo surgery with favorable outcomes. One patient underwent redo surgery for peritonitis with a favorable result. Thus, 7 (22.6%) patients with caval vein injury died in intraoperative and early postoperative period. Non-specific complications occurred in 4 (12.9%) patients. These events were corrected by conservative measures. Other 24 (77.4%) patients with traumatic and iatrogenic injuries of caval veins were discharged. CONCLUSION Caval vein injury is less common event compared to other vascular damages. Nevertheless, this complication is accompanied by severe blood loss, shock and hypovolemia. We can only assume damage to a great vessel in patients with penetrating wounds before surgery and appropriate symptoms of internal bleeding. However, final diagnosis is made during surgery. Hemostasis is a responsible and difficult surgical stage in these patients. There is usually no alternative to reconstructive surgery in these cases. However, ligation is permissible in extremely ill patients and only in infrarenal segment of IVC. Vascular suture is a more acceptable and effective option for reconstruction. However, patch repair is advisable for large defects. In our opinion, this approach is better regarding long-term patency compared to total replacement with synthetic prostheses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The inferior vena cava is the most frequently injured vascular structure in penetrating abdominal trauma. We aimed to review inferior vena cava injury cases treated at a limited resources facility and to discuss the surgical management for such injures. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients with inferior vena cava injuries who were treated at a single center between January 2011 and January 2020. Data pertaining to the following were assessed: demographic parameters, hypovolemic shock at admission, the distance that the patient had to be transported to reach the hospital, affected anatomical segment, treatment, concomitant injuries, complications, and mortality. Non-parametric data were analyzed using Fisher's exact, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, or Kruskal-Wallis test, as applicable. The Student's t-test was used to assess parametric data. Moreover, multiple logistic regression analyses (including data of possible death-related variables) were performed. Statistical significance was set at P <0.05. RESULTS Among 114 patients with inferior vena cava injuries, 90.4% were male, and the majority were aged 20-29 years. Penetrating injuries accounted for 98.2% of the injuries, and the infrarenal segment was affected in 52.7% of the patients. Suturing was perfomed in 69.5% and cava ligation in 29.5% of the patients, and 1 patient with retrohepatic vena cava injury was managed non-operatively. The overall mortality was 52.6% with no case of compartment syndrome in the limbs. A total of 7.9% of the patients died during surgery. CONCLUSION The inferior vena cava is often injured by penetrating mechanisms, and the most frequently affected segment was the infrarenal segment. A higher probability of death was not associated with injury to a specific anatomical segment. Additionally, cava ligation was not related to an increased probability of compartment syndrome in the leg; therefore, prophylactic fasciotomy was not supported.

Abstract
This study details the etiology, frequency and effect of abdominal vascular injuries in patients after polytrauma based on a large registry of trauma patients. The impact of arterial, venous and mixed vascular injuries on patients' outcome was of interest, as in particular the relevance of venous vessel injury may be underestimated and not adequately assessed in literature so far. All patients of TraumaRegister DGU with the following criteria were included: online documentation of european trauma centers, age 16-85 years, presence of abdominal vascular injury and Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) ≥ 3. Patients were divided in three groups of: arterial injury only, venous injury only, mixed arterial and venous injuries. Reporting in this study adheres to the STROBE criteria. A total of 2949 patients were included. All types of abdominal vessel injuries were more prevalent in patients with abdominal trauma followed by thoracic trauma. Rate of patients with shock upon admission were the same in patients with arterial injury alone (n = 606, 33%) and venous injury alone (n = 95, 32%). Venous trauma showed higher odds ratio for in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.48; 95% CI 1.10-1.98, p = 0.010). Abdominal arterial and venous injury in patients suffering from severe trauma were associated with a comparable rate of hemodynamic instability at the time of admission. 24 h as well as in-hospital mortality rate were similar in in patients with venous injury and arterial injury. Stable patients suspected of abdominal vascular injuries should be further investigated to exclude or localize the possible subtle venous injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Injuries to the inferior vena cava (IVC), while uncommon, have a high mortality despite modern advances. The goal of this study is to describe the diagnosis and management in the largest available prospective data set of vascular injuries across anatomic levels of IVC injury. METHODS The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma PROspective Observational Vascular Injury Treatment (PROOVIT) registry was queried from November 2013 to January 2019. Demographics, diagnostic modalities, injury patterns, and management strategies were recorded and analyzed. Comparisons between anatomic levels were made using non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum statistics. RESULTS 140 patients from 19 institutions were identified; median age was 30 years old (IQR 23-41), 75% were male, and 62% had penetrating mechanism. The suprarenal IVC group was associated with blunt mechanism (53% vs 32%, P = .02), had lower admission systolic blood pressure, pH, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and higher ISS and thorax and abdomen AIS than the infrarenal injury group. Injuries were managed with open repair (70%) and ligation (30% overall; infrarenal 37% vs suprarenal 13%, P = .01). Endovascular therapy was used in 2% of cases. Overall mortality was 42% (infrarenal 33% vs suprarenal 66%, P<.001). Among survivors, there was no difference in first 24-hour PRBC transfusion requirement, or hospital or ICU length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Current PROOVIT registry data demonstrate continued use of ligation extending to the suprarenal IVC, limited adoption of endovascular management, and no dramatic increase in overall survival compared to previously published studies. Survival is likely related to IVC injury location and total injury burden.

Abstract
Inferior vena cava injury is a rare injury with high rate mortality. Few clinical cases have described the clinical findings and radiologic appearance of this kind of injury. We describe a rare clinical case of inferior vena cava hematoma. The management depends on the hemodynamic stability of the patient and the level of injury, it might be surgical, endoscopic.
Introduction inferior vena cava IVC injury is rare with lethal outcomes, the clinical signs depends on the location and associated injuries, andt he treatment might be endovascular, surgical. Clinical case A 25 years with no medical history was admitted to the emergency department after a car accident. After intubation and hemodynamic stabilization, the computerized tomography CT scan showed hepatic laceration with a rupture of the IVC in the retro-hepatic portion, he was admitted to the operation room for damage control laparotomy; the patient died 12 h after the operation despite appropriate management. Conclusion IVC are rare and lethal, the CT scan remains the gold standard and the evolution of endovascular techniques decreased the mortality rate.
