Objective To investigate the effect of vascular interventional technique in arterial injuries of damage control surgery.Methods A retrospective review was made on clinical data of 31 arterial injuries cases who received damage control surgery from March 2011 to June 2018. All cases underwent endovascular therapy for arterial injuries in No. 960 Hospital of Chinese People’s Liberation Army, and then the definitive operation was operated as soon as the vital signs became stable.Results The surgery was successful in all patients, and the operation time was 43–100 min (average of 57 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 50–200 mL (average of 80 mL). Bleeding was successful controlled in 11 cases with covered stents, 9 cases with multiple overlapping bare stents, and 11 cases with spring coil, all cases with shock were improved immediately. There were no perioperative mortality or procedure-related complication occurred. All cases were discharged from hospital smoothly after two-phase surgery. All the patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months [(17±5) months]. Two patients with covered stent lumen stenosis less than 50% as showed by angiography, and no secondary treatment was required. In addition, blood flow patency was kept in the rest of artery, no bleeding occurred in injured artery. During the follow-up period, the collateral vessels of 9 patients treated with multi-layerbare stent overlapping technique were unobstructed. Stent migration, fracture or leakage was not found during the follow-up period. Patients recovered well after definitive surgery, they had good fracture healing with a disability rate of 0.Conclusion Rational application of vascular interventional technique in damage control surgery is a safe and effective treatment method for arterial injuries combined with other traumas.
