Abstract

This article deals with the analysis of damage to the main vessels of the abdominal cavity. In particular, the article is devoted to the radiological diagnosis of damage to the vessels of the abdominal cavity caused by gunshot wounds. The article examines various methods and technologies of using X-ray and computer tomographic imaging for accurate localization and characterization of damage to the vascular bed. The author of the article emphasizes the importance of the clinical significance of such a diagnosis, its advantages, and possible limitations in its use for effective treatment of victims. A detailed review of foreign research was conducted to adapt and study the existing world experience in the direction of research for the opportunity to provide timely and high-quality assistance to victims.

The aim. The aim of the work is the theoretical substantiation of gunshot injuries to the main vessels of the abdominal cavity of the retroperitoneal space.

Scientific novelty. For the first time, a detailed analysis of damage to the main vessels of the abdominal cavity of the retroperitoneal space was carried out.

Materials and methods. Analysis of theoretical sources, comparison, induction of isolated analytical data. The research was conducted on the basis of the repository of scientific texts of the State Institution "Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine".

Results. It was determined that with the help of MSCT-angiography, signs of damage to the main vessels of the abdominal cavity can be accurately diagnosed, additional information about damage to bone structures, neighbouring organs and tissues is obtained.

Conclusions. It was determined that MSCT-angiography has become the main method of assessing gunshot injuries to the vessels of the abdominal cavity. Using this method allows you to accurately determine the location and nature of injuries, which helps doctors in choosing the optimal treatment plan for affected patients. However, it is important to consider the possible limitations of this method and to develop additional diagnostic strategies for a complete and comprehensive assessment of vascular injuries
