Abstract:Vascular trauma represents a group of life-threatening emergencies with high rates of mortality and disability in the fields of trauma surgery and vascular surgery. Its diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have continuously evolved with advances in endovascular techniques, perioperative management concepts, and multidisciplinary collaboration models. In 2025, the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) released, for the first time, the Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Vascular Trauma. As an authoritative evidence-based document in the field of international vascular surgery, these guidelines provide a critical foundation for the standardized management of vascular trauma worldwide. Meanwhile, based on China's accumulated experience and research achievements in combat-related trauma care, organizations including the Chinese Military Vascular Surgery Group published Chinese expert consensus on the management of vascular combat injuries. This consensus focuses on special scenarios such as battlefield injuries and disaster settings, and proposes solutions with distinct Chinese characteristics and strong practical value in key areas including tiered trauma care systems, frontline hemorrhage control techniques, and damage control surgery for vascular injuries. It serves as an important supplement and refinement to existing international guidelines. The present article aims to conduct an in-depth comparison, analysis, and integration of these two pivotal documents, systematically summarizing their similarities, differences, and complementarities in terms of epidemiology, diagnostic assessment, management principles, region-specific injury management, and postoperative rehabilitation. By integrating international frontier evidence with China's real-world combat trauma experience, this work seeks to construct a pragmatic clinical decision-making framework to provide feasible and applicable guidance for domestic clinical practice.
