Registry for Vascular Trauma and Follow-up Examinations

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Within the framework of the project presented here, a registry for traumatic vascular injuries will be established at Augsburg University Hospital. Patients who are treated at our hospital for an isolated vascular trauma or a vascular involvement in (poly-)trauma will be included. This is a rare complication of trauma, so data collection in a registry is useful to pool data on therapeutic procedures and outcome. These patients differ from the usual vascular surgery patient clientele because there is usually no previous vascular disease. Healthy vessels show different physiological responses than pre-diseased vessels. The usual therapeutic procedures and materials are also developed for arteriosclerotic or aneurysmatic vessels. Therefore, a core objective of this study is to assess long-term outcomes after vascular trauma.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Long term follow-up after vascular injury | Inclusion of patients in the vascular trauma registry, then regular follow-up examinations. Conditions resulting from the trauma are to be assessed and recorded. Therefore several examinations should be performed. The kind of examination is due to trauma localization an treatment. Most examinations are non invasive as ultrasound, ABI-measurement and clinical evaluation. Ultrasound documents the patency of vessels/grafts (primary outcome measure). ABI-measurement ist documented as Index (primary outcome measure) Some patients require CT- or MRI-Scans for example in the follow-up of aortic stentgrafts, they document graft patency, vessel diameter in centimeters and endoleak formation (primary outcome measure). The abovementioned examinations combined document the graft/vessel patency as primary outcome measure | Assessments will be performed at different time points. In the first year after trauma at 3 time points: 3, 6 and 12 months. Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Reintervention rate | Treatment of complications as graft occlusion or stenosis | Assessments will be performed at different time points. In the first year after trauma at 3 time points: 3, 6 and 12 months. Through study completion, an average of 1 year | 
| Development of treatment patterns | Optional, depending on the amount and quality of data | Assessments will be performed at different time points. In the first year after trauma at 3 time points: 3, 6 and 12 months. Through study completion, an average of 1 year |
