  21. Closed injury, (tractional injuries) • Early exploration vascular reconstruction

  22. Pseudoaneurism

  23. Based on severity • Closed injury, (tractional injuries) • Early exploration • Underobservation First 6-12 weeks Stabilization of the patient Stabilization of the injury Evaluation of the improvement After 2-3 months No improvement; exploration Progressive improve; wait & watch Non-anatomic recovery; explor.

  24. Closed injury, (tractional injuries) • Early exploration • Underobservation • Decision for the time of delay exploration • No recovery • After 6-12 weeks (based on the severity of the trauma) • Progressive improvement • Wait for further improvement • Non-anatomic recovery • Exploration before 9-12 months

  25. Closed injury, (tractional injuries) • Early exploration • Underobservation • Decision for the time of delay exploration • Decision for the type of the treatment
