Temporary intravascular shunts and limb salvage in civilian vascular trauma Open
Background Temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) may allow quick revascularization and distal reperfusion, reducing the ischemic time (IT) when an arterial injury occurs. Furthermore, TIVS temporarily restore peripheral perfusion during th…
