angiographic results were available, but no chart could be found.) The mean age of the patients was 31 .8 years (range, 3-90); 248 (89%) were male. Mean length of hospitalization was 1 3.4 days (range, 1 -1 87), mean follow-up period was 8.3 months (range, 1 day to 82 months), and mean number of follow-up visits and readmissions was 4.5 (range, 0-46).Of the total 300 angiograms, the mechanism of injury was gunshot wound in 163 (54%) (nine were shotgun injuries), laceration in 51 (17%), blunt trauma in 82 (27%), and other mechanisms in four (1 %).

“…34,35 Previously, age was considered a poor prognostic factor for limb salvage because older victims tend to have more diseased, brittle, and chronically occluded vessels that are more prone to injury and less tolerant of acute ischemia. 36,37 In our study, we found no such association and found older patients should have the same chance of saving their limb as younger patients. However, we were not quite certain about this result because of the small number of patients in analysis.…”

Individual studies on the prognostic factors of leg amputation, due to vascular injury, have been small, and they have produced conflicting results. Reliable data are necessary so that surgery can be targeted more effectively. The authors carried out a systematic review from 1990 to 2002 to identify the high risk of patients to amputation. Meta-analysis was carried out. The authors found that patients with preoperative hypotension, popliteal artery injury, and associated bone and nerve injury had a significantly higher risk of leg amputation than those without these risk factors. Also, patients with postoperative infection had a higher chance of amputation than those without infection. This information is essential for an appropriate evaluation and the treatment of such patients.

“…Even without interruption of one of the two named wrist arteries, a significant early and late morbidity exists in patients with peripheral vascular disease. These include delayed wound healing, claudication, weakness and cold intolerance (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). Bone nonunion with only the patent artery, which later healed by reconstruction of an additional vessel, has been reported in the lower extremity (7).…”

Isolated injury to the radial or ulnar artery results in no significant complications in patients who undergo repair or ligation of the injured artery. However, ligation of both infrabrachial vessels of the upper extremity is associated with limb loss from ischemia due to lack of collateral circulation. A rare case of acute ligation of both the radial and ulnar arteries in a drug abuser where collateral vessels preserved the circulation to the hand is reported.
