Introduction: Injuries of the carotid artery constitute a rare group of injuries. This study presents results of the treatment of 44 patients with iatrogenic carotid artery injuries for over 20 years. The patients were treated by the team of doctors of the Department of Vascular, General and Transplant Surgery in Wroclaw in the years 1997–2017 (Head of the Department Prof. Klemens Skóra, MD, and Prof. Piotr Szyber, MD, PhD – material used with permission).
Aim: Aims of the analysis are: to estimate the frequency of different forms of iatrogenic injuries to the common and internal carotid artery, to evaluate the results of treatment, to assess the most effective surgical method depending on the type of injury, and develop an effective preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative regimen.
Discussion and results: The frequency of various carotid artery injuries (blunt, acute, traffic) was constant between years, but the number of iatrogenic injuries definitely increased over time. The prognosis for patients with carotid artery injury, especially when combined with multi-organ trauma, is the gravest. Significantly better treatment results were achieved with both acute and iatrogenic injuries. This is mainly due to easier and quicker diagnosis and better conditions for assisting patients.
Conclusions: In iatrogenic injuries, a well-designed surgical scheme, i.e. primarily the administration of UTH and placing a temporary flow drain by the first operating team, reduces the risk of neurological complications.
