When chest surgery turns dangerous: what a decade of rare vascular injuries can teach surgeons
NCT ID NCT07100509
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This study reviews 10 years of records from a single hospital to understand how often major blood vessel injuries happen during planned chest surgeries, what causes them, and how surgeons manage them in the moment. The goal is to identify patterns that could improve preoperative planning and surgical safety for future patients.
