Frontiers of vascular injury in war:advanced treatment techniques
Massive hemorrhage caused by vascular injuries in war(VIW)is a major cause of death in war-time.Since the modern war,the management skills of VIW have been greatly improved,especially with the develop-ment of endovascular surgery and related concepts.Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta(RE-BOA),a representative of the advanced treatment technique and instrument,has significantly improved the success rate of VIW management.This article will deeply discuss the frontier of VIW management,focusing on the innova-tion of VIW treatment concept,endovascular vascular surgeries,VIW treatment equipment and materials,and summa-rize and prospect for the development of VIW management in the information era.
