The purpose of our study was to investigate the incidence of these injuries, the causative mechanism and type of trauma, the co\u2010existing injuries, and the mortality rate in our institution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed a retrospective review of all trauma patients who were admitted to the surgical department of the General Hospital of Rethymno during an 11\u2010year period. Our study included patients arriving at our institution dead or alive with an azygos venous system injury following blunt or penetrating civilian trauma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seven patients\u2014five men and two women\u2014were identified with azygos venous system injuries. Five had an azygos vein laceration, one suffered from both azygos and hemiazygos vein lacerations, and the last one had sustained hemiazygos and accessory hemiazygos vein injuries. All of them suffered from a blunt trauma. Three arrived at our hospital in extremis, and all died within 24 h despite our resuscitation attempts. All of our patients were polytrauma patients. All of them had co\u2010existing torso injuries which were severe in all but one case, three of them suffered also from serious head injuries, and all but one had at least serious extremity\u2019s injuries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Azygos venous system injuries are rare, although it seems that they are more frequent than current literature would indicate. Blunt trauma mechanism seems to be predominant in civilian trauma setting, and the patients have usually sustained a lot of serious and severe co\u2010existing injuries with high resultant lethality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,27]],"date-time":"2016-01-27T15:31:27Z","timestamp":1453908687000},"page":"1355-1361","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Injury to Azygos Venous System: A Co\u2010Existing Injury in High\u2010Impact Lethal Trauma"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Antonios","family":"Papadomanolakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensics Sciences University Hospital of Heraklion Crete Staurakion Voutes 71110 Heraklion Crete Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Theodoridou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Thoracic and Visceral Surgery GPR Hospital August\u2010Bebel\u2010Str.49 65428 Ruesselsheim Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikistratos","family":"Vogiatzis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Department General Hospital of Rethymno Trantalidou 17 74100 Rethymno Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Pentheroudaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit General Hospital of Rethymno Trantalidou 17 74100 Rethymno Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Despoina","family":"Daskalaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Department General Hospital of Rethymno Trantalidou 17 74100 Rethymno Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evangelos D.","family":"Lolis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Department General Hospital of Rethymno Trantalidou 17 74100 Rethymno Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1510\/icvts.2010.234666"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ta.0000202552.26628.84"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1757\u20107241\u201017\u201042"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373\u2010199901000\u201000034"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373\u2010199510000\u201000029"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020\u20101383(97)00173\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5507\/bp.2007.059"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ta.0000229959.54552.be"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2012.05.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373\u2010200010000\u201000034"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","first-page":"939","volume-title":"Gray\u2019s anatomy\u2010the anatomical basis of clinical practice","author":"Standring S","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","first-page":"3355","article-title":"Ruptured azygos vein caused by blunt trauma on left chest","volume":"125","author":"Cao JG","year":"2012","journal-title":"Chin Med J"}],"container-title":["World Journal of Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,26]],"date-time":"2023-12-26T16:44:28Z","timestamp":1703609068000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,27]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00268-016-3411-7","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0364-2313","1432-2323"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0364-2313","type":"print"},{"value":"1432-2323","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,27]]}}}
