The aim of this study was to examine the association between the injury mechanism and repair type with outcomes in patients with traumatic inferior vena cava injuries. This is a retrospective analysis of the ACS-TQIP database (2017-2020), including patients with traumatic IVC injuries. Patients were stratified by injury mechanism and type of repair and compared. Out of 1,334 patients, 5% underwent endovascular repair while 95% had an open procedure. Overall, 74.7% sustained a penetrating injury.
