The English-language literature, from 1952 to 1979, was surveyed for all papers concerned with vascular @entity130 penetrating wounds of the neck, or carotid injuries in particular, and all valid, first-hand, adequately detailed cases of carotid arterial @entity130 were abstracted. The valid, first-hand, adequately detailed cases of carotid arterial @entity130 were abstracted. The current status of all our own hospital survivors who had been treated for carotid @entity1317 was also established to add needed longitudinal perspective. In all, 722 cases were available for analysis. The mean age was 28 years, and the overall mortality rate was 21%. One hundred and eighty-six @entity1 presented with severe @entity51 . If they underwent arterial repair, 34% were better; if they had a carotid ligated, or were not treated surgically, only 14% improved (P = 0.01). Shock or @entity772 , independently, were significantly ominous (P less than 0.001), but there was no evidence to support @entity772 as a contraindication to restoring arterial continuity. Similarly, in the @entity1 with preoperative @entity51 , no data could be found to substantiate the contention that prompt arterial repair would yield better results than delayed repair. Follow-up status at 1 year was available for only 40 cases from the results than delayed repair. Follow-up status at 1 year was available for only 40 cases from the entire literature. Assessment of our own @entity1 , at a mean of 4.6 years after injury, uncovered multiple, persistent @entity16 , one stenotic arterial repair, two @entity439 , and an @entity2548 .
