Objective To review the experience in managing severe major jugular vascular injuries. Methods Fifteen cases (11 men and 4 women, aged 18~49 years) treated by operation were collected. The injuried vessels included common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, subclavian artery and accompanying veins, carotid reconstruction was performed by jugular vein transplantation and followed by wrapping with PTFE artificial blood vessel in 15 cases. Result All the fifteen patients were cured and the vasculars were well-functioning 3~12 weeks after the surgery. Conclusion The mortality of severe large cervical vascular injuries is very high because of acute bleeding, cerebral ischimia and suffocation. In managing this catastrophe, keeping the airway clear and stop bleeding effectively are fundamental.
