Screening criteria and diagnostic methods for blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) are evolving. Using current screening guidelines, up to 20% of injuries are not recognized until symptoms occur, and thus missing the therapeutic window. All patients who meet screening criteria at our institution undergo angiography due to conflicting sensitivity data reported for computed tomographic angiography (CTA). We sought to refine screening criteria for BCVI to optimize patient care.
