Vascular Rounds Fall 2017 - Vascular Trauma

In this issue of Vascular Rounds Fall 2017, several specialists join together to discuss topics that include Endovascular Therapy for Blunt Aortic Trauma, Shunting in Civilian Extremity Trauma, Pediatric Vascular Trauma, A RESCUE Stent for Non-Compressible Traumatic Hemorrhage, Traumatic Innominate Artery Injury, and Embolization of Arterial Injuries.

Educational objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Discuss the causes and treatments for blunt aortic injuries/aortic transection.
• Explain the challenges in treating pediatric vascular trauma injuries
• Identify the benefits and challenges in using vascular shunts to treat vascular trauma injuries.
