Traumatic Arterial Disease

  • Chapter
Diseases of the Arterial Wall

Abstract

Most arterial injuries are due to direct trauma. Advances in the surgical repair of these injuries are due primarily to surgical experience acquired during war [19,43,71]. The destructiveness of weapons used in recent military conflicts, in particular in the war in Vietnam [39,67] accounts for the wide variety of lesions encountered. In hospital practice [6,10,22,42,48,60] certain invasive diagnostic procedures, used for vascular imaging, [29,31,47] or even to repair damaged arteries [11,16,52,53,64] may be responsible for iatrogenic lesions. The pathologist often must examine specimens of arterial resection collected during the surgical repair of an artery. His task thus involves not only confirming the traumatic nature of the lesion but also detecting whether or not the artery is the site of occult lesions, a finding of considerable interest in forensic medicine [64,65].
