Missile emboli remain unusual and challenging problems. Failure to recognize and adequately manage these uncommon lesions can result in loss of limb and/or life. No one individual or medical center has an extensive experience with missile emboli. An analysis of approximately 7,500 Vietnam casualties with known vascular trauma revealed an incidence of about 0.3%: 22 patients with missile emboli. The majority were associated with fragments from explosive devices and involved the arterial system. The missile emboli were removed in all but three patients. Only one patient had a vascular complication. There was no mortality or amputation in this series.
导弹栓塞仍然是罕见且具有挑战性的问题。未能识别和妥善处理这些不常见的损伤可能导致肢体丧失和/或生命危险。没有任何个人或医疗中心对导弹栓塞有丰富的经验。对约7500例已知血管创伤的越南伤亡人员进行分析后发现，其发生率约为0.3%，即22例导弹栓塞患者。大多数与爆炸装置碎片有关，且累及动脉系统。除3例患者外，其余所有患者的导弹栓塞均被清除。只有1例患者出现血管并发症。该系列中无死亡或截肢病例。
