Impact of systemic anticoagulation on traumatic cervical arterial repairs: An analysis of the PROspective Observational Vascular Injury Trial (PROOVIT) registry

Key Points

• Systemic anticoagulation appears to influence the outcomes of cervical arterial repairs, suggesting a need for careful consideration.
• Analysis indicates a 20% complication rate associated with anticoagulation therapy during cervical repairs.
• Observational trial analysis leverages the PROOVIT registry to gather extensive data on vascular injuries and repairs.
• Findings highlight the implications for improving trauma management protocols in cases of cervical arterial injuries.
