Major Vascular Injuries in Elective Thoracic Surgery: A 10-Year Single-Center Experience
Sponsor: Caner İşevi, MD
Summary
This study retrospectively examines major vascular injuries that occurred during elective thoracic surgeries over a 10-year period at a single tertiary care center. Although these injuries are rare, they can lead to life-threatening complications. The study aims to determine how often these injuries happen, what causes them, and how they are managed during surgery. It also evaluates the role of preoperative imaging and planning, including cardiovascular surgery team involvement, in preventing or managing these events. The findings are intended to help improve surgical safety and guide future preventive strategies.

Major Vascular Injury During Elective Thoracic Surgery
This exposure refers to patients who experienced major vascular injuries during elective thoracic surgery. Injuries involved central vessels such as the subclavian artery, brachiocephalic vein, superior vena cava, and innominate vein. No experimental intervention was applied. The study retrospectively evaluated the surgical management, transfusion requirements, preoperative planning, and clinical outcomes associated with these intraoperative events.
