Abstract

A detailed review of 106 vascular injuries seen at the Mt. Sinai Hospital of Cleveland in a period of six-and-a-half years is presented. The type and location of the vascular injuries, the concomitant injuries, the preoperative evaluation, operative and post operative management, the complications and their management are discussed. The overall amputation rate in our cases was 4.7%, and for popliteal artery injuries 20%. The mortality rate was 5.6%.
