Major Vascular Injuries in Elective Thoracic Surgery: A 10-Year Single-Center Experience

This exposure refers to patients who experienced major vascular injuries during elective thoracic surgery. Injuries involved central vessels such as the subclavian artery, brachiocephalic vein, superior vena cava, and innominate vein. No experimental intervention was applied. The study retrospectively evaluated the surgical management, transfusion requirements, preoperative planning, and clinical outcomes associated with these intraoperative events.
