An injured artery results in more blood loss as compared to veins and is due to high pressure of blood in arteries than veins. Vascular injury associated with high energy gunshot wounds and blunt traumas resulting in fracture of extremity cases are associated with high risk of serious vascular injury however, the risk of serious injuries is low in the patients who suffer from low energy wounds (handguns, knives, etc.). In the U.S. peripheral vascular injuries accounts for more than 80% vascular injury cases are most commonly caused by penetrating trauma, reason being the increased use of endovascular procedures for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Approximately around 30% of the vascular injuries are low energy wounds (stab wounds etc) while high energy wounds account for more than 50% of the vascular injuries. Vascular injuries owing to blunt trauma to the extremities such as crush injuries, dislocations and traction account for only mere 26% of individuals being treated. Mortality due to peripheral vascular injuries is less common but however, injuries leading to occurrence of necrotizing myofascial infection can lead to increased mortality rates.
