TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - External iliac artery occlusion in a paediatric patient following handlebar trauma JO - Journal of surgical case reports A1 - Singla, Animesh A. A1 - McPherson, Danielle A1 - Singla, Apresh A. A1 - Cross, Jane A1 - Leslie, Anthony SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - 2015 IS - 3 N2 - Arterial occlusion following blunt trauma is an uncommon occurrence. We report an unusual case of delayed external iliac artery occlusion in a young male following blunt abdominal injury. He was successfully treated with thromboendarterectomy and saphenous vein patch repair. There have only been a handful of documented cases occurring in the paediatric population. All patients presenting with groin injury from this mechanism should be carefully investigated and monitored for risk of vascular injury.
