Blunt Cerebrovascular Injuries

Clay Cothren Burlew, MD, FACS
    • Multislice (> 64 slice) computed tomographic angiography is the routine imaging test performed to identify blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI).
    • With noninvasive imaging used for BCVI identification, screening criteria have recently been expanded.
    • Antithrombotic treatment almost universally prevents BCVI-related stroke.
    • Endovascular therapy for BCVI should be reserved for those patients who are markedly symptomatic from their injury or have an enlarging pseudoaneurysm on repeat imaging.
