Abstract
During the last century, the treatment paradigm of extremity vascular injuries has evolved from primary ligation to the current application of endovascular techniques. Regardless of the method employed, management of traumatic vascular injuries continues to pose a challenge to the treating surgeon, especially when combined with soft tissue and bony injuries. This article reviews the current trends in diagnosis and treatment of acute arterial occlusions secondary to vascular trauma.
