Operative procedures included ligation, end-to-end repair and reverse venous graft of the injured vessels. Outcomes, including cause of amputation and mortality, were noted. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.\nResults: Of the 82 patients, 61(74.03%) were males and 21(25.06%) were females. The overall mean age was 33\u00b15.41 years. Femoral artery was damaged more 54(65.85%) compared to brachial artery 28(34.14%) in all modes of injuries. Ligation of vessel was done in 35(42.68%) cases. Mortality was the outcome in 15(18.29%) patients, amputation in 29(35.36%) and discharge after successful vascular repair 38(46.34%).\nConclusion: Ligation of the femoral or brachial artery was found to be a safe and lifesaving procedure in patients presenting 6-12 hours after isolated vascular trauma to the emergency department in a tertiary care setting.\nKey Words Vascular system injuries, Amputation, Surgical, Brachial artery, Femoral artery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47391\/jpma.21033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]],"date-time":"2025-03-24T14:57:20Z","timestamp":1742828240000},"page":"596-600","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Outcome of patients presenting 6 to 12 hours after isolated vascular trauma in a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan"],"prefix":"10.47391","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Ahmed Siddique","family":"Ammar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed Asghar","family":"Naqi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Affifa","family":"Liaquat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Azwa Munim","family":"Janjua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adeena","family":"Syed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syeda Ifrah","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"26547","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/21033\/4040","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/21033\/4040","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,26]],"date-time":"2025-03-26T07:08:49Z","timestamp":1742972929000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/view\/21033"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,23]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47391\/jpma.21033","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-9982"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-9982","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]]}}}
