Vascular trauma involves injury to blood vessels due to blunt force, penetrating wounds, or fractures, and can lead to life-threatening bleeding, loss of limb, or organ damage if not treated promptly. Early diagnosis and rapid surgical intervention are critical to restoring circulation and preventing complications. Treatment may include direct vessel repair, graft placement, or vessel ligation, depending on the severity and location of the injury.

Vascular bypass surgery is performed when a blood vessel is blocked or damaged beyond repair. It involves rerouting blood flow around the affected area using a graft made from the patient’s vein or a synthetic material. Commonly used for treating severe peripheral artery disease or traumatic vascular injuries, bypass surgery helps restore adequate blood supply to the limbs or organs, reduces pain, and prevents tissue loss or amputation. With proper postoperative care, most patients achieve good functional recovery and improved quality of life.
