Abstract

Blunt carotid injuries (BCIs) are rare injuries with an incidence of 1% to 3% in patients with blunt trauma. Earlier diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent the morbidity associated with BCIs. Operative intervention (open or endovascular) is indicated for patients with high-grade BCIs. However, there are no guidelines regarding the timing of operative intervention. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of early vs late operative intervention for BCIs.
