Use of CTA in Strangulation Evaluation
In patients presenting with strangulation, the rates of BCVI and even acute cervical fractures were low. These findings suggest that broad use of CTAs in this setting may be of low diagnostic value. Further studies are needed to find more relevant symptoms and signs that could suggest the need for CTAs in this patient population to best optimize diagnosis and patient safety.
