Vascular trauma, though rare posses a grave threat to life and limb. Early recognition and treatment of these injuries increases the limb salvage.Two hundred and twenty one cases of vascular injuries operated during the last 17 years and 3 months were studied. An attempt was made to study the mortality and morbidity patterns and factors affecting it. The mortality rate was 8.59% and the limb loss rate was 9.04% .

A total of 4752 patients were randomly assigned to CABG with (on-pump) or without (off-pump) cardiopulmonary bypass. At 1 year, there was no significant difference in neurocognitive function or quality of life or in the composite of death, MI, stroke, or renal failure. Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) reduces mortality among patients with extensive coronary artery disease. 1 CABG is usually performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG). With this approach, perioperative mortality is about 2%, and myocardial infarction, stroke, or renal failure requiring dialysis develop in an additional 5 to 7% of patients. The technique of performing CABG on a beating heart (off-pump CABG) was developed to reduce perioperative complications, some of which may be related to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and to the cross-clamping of the aorta associated with the on-pump CABG procedure, and to improve long-term outcomes.
