Abstract
Vascular injuries due to blunt or penetrating trauma can be challenging to diagnose and treat, particularly when they involve central vessels or occur in patients with other major injuries or comorbidities. Over the past 30 years, the optimal management of these vascular lesions has been refined by both military and civilian trauma experiences (Jahnke and Seeley 1953; Perry et al. 1971; Drapanas et al. 1970; Burnett et al. 1976; Feliciano et al. 1984; Rich and Spencer 1978). This chapter describes several general principles which apply to the diag-nosis and traditional surgical treatment of major arterial and venous injuries. In addition, it reviews the indications for various endovascular treatment techniques, the literature on the use of endovascular stented grafts for vascular trauma, and our experience with these grafts for traumatic vascular lesions at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
