          Abstract

          Resumen: Las lesiones penetrantes de la arteria carótida común son infrecuentes; no obstante los adelantos alcanzados en cuanto a su diagnóstico y tratamiento continúan teniendo una alta mortalidad. Se ubican en la zona I del cuello, por lo que requieren, además de la incisión cervical, una esternotomía media para una correcta exposición y un adecuado control vascular proximal y distal. El incremento contemporáneo del trauma hace prever que la ocurrencia de este tipo de lesiones aumentará, principalmente en áreas rurales y suburbanas alejadas de centros especializados en trauma, por tal motivo es conveniente que los cirujanos generales perfeccionen su capacitación al respecto. En este reporte se informa un caso de sección transversal parcial de la arteria carótida común izquierda producida por proyectil de arma de fuego de baja velocidad, tratado exitosamente en un hospital militar de segundo nivel, siendo necesario resecar el tercio proximal de la clavícula para lograr una adecuada exposición y reparación de la lesión. Adicionalmente, se revisan los aspectos más sobresalientes del diagnóstico y tratamiento de estas heridas.

          Abstract: Penetrating injuries of the common carotid artery are rare and despite the progress made in terms of diagnosis and treatment continue to have a high mortality. They are located in zone I of the neck which require cervical incision, and also a median sternotomy for correct exposure and adequate proximal and distal vascular control. The contemporary increasing trauma seems to indicate that the occurrence of these injuries will increase, primarily in rural and suburban areas away from centers specializing in trauma, so it is appropriate that general surgeons increase their relevant training. We report a case of partial cross section of the left common carotid artery caused low speed gun fire, successfully treated a Level II Military Hospital, being necessary to resect the proximal third of the clavicle to achieve adequate exposure and repair of the lesion, in addition, we review the salient aspects of diagnosis and treatment of these injuries.

          Carotid artery injury from an airgun pellet: a case report and review of the literature

          Historically airguns were powerful weapons. Modern models, though less lethal, are still capable of inflicting serious or life threatening injuries. Current United Kingdom legislation fails to take into the account the capacity for airguns to maim and kill. We believe that airguns should be governed by the same law that applies to firearms. We present a case of a potentially fatal airgun injury to the neck. The airgun pellet caused a defect in the anterior wall of the external carotid artery, which required rapid access and surgical repair. We discuss the mechanism of airgun injury and review the literature in terms of investigation and management.

            Cervical vascular injuries: carotid and jugular venous injuries.

            This article explores the management of carotid arterial injuries, detailing the historical evolution for the management of these injuries and delineating techniques for cerebral perfusion and preservation with shunts. It discusses the role of autogenous versus synthetic grafts in the management of these injuries and the issue of vascular complications and potential pitfalls. Jugular venous injuries are addressed also, with emphasis on the controversies of primary repair versus ligation.

              Anatomic exposures for vascular injuries.

              The exposure of vascular injuries is contingent on knowledge of anatomy and the limitations and boundaries for proximal and distal control of each artery. In this article, these are conveniently organized into arteries of the neck, of the chest, of the abdomen, and of the extremities. In addition, the interface between the neck and chest, and the chest and the abdomen provide particular challenges because of the need to expose two body regions frequently. The anatomy, the points of proximal and distal control, the details of exposure, and the key maneuvers required to expose particular arteries are reviewed.
