| Core Tip |
Long-term outcomes of bare metal stent (BMS)-assisted repair for upper limb arterial trauma using a “working track” end-to-end technique with strategic stent overlap. Their BMS cohort achieved 100% patency and better functional recovery by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score compared with non-BMS repairs. By preserving branches and demonstrating durability in mobile arterial segments, BMS may be an underused, limb-salvaging option in selected traumatic injuries. Prospective studies are needed to define patient selection, antithrombotic regimens and comparative effectiveness. |
