Dr.  Walt Biffl from Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla joins us on Rounds to discuss the evolution of BCVI management from the early 1990s to present day. Topics discussed include screening criteria, the diagnostic approach and imaging modalities for accurately identifying these injuries in our blunt polytrauma pateints. Grading criteria, antithrombotic therapies, and the use of endovascular stents round out this informative discussion with one of the world's leading experts on the topic.
