Transarterial interventions in civilian gunshot wound injury: experience from a level-1 trauma center.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the effectiveness of trans-arterial vascular interventions in treatment of civilian gunshot wounds (GSW).

Materials and methods

A retrospective review was performed at a level-1 trauma center to include 46 consecutive adults admitted due to GSW related hemorrhage and treated with endovascular interventions from July 2018 to July 2022. Patient demographics and procedural metrics were retrieved. Primary outcomes of interest include technical success and in-hospital mortality.
