Abstract
- This paper presents a collaborative survey of 108 instances of serious arterial injury which were seen over the period 1959–68. The commonest cause of injury was iatrogenic. followed by motor vehicle accidents, industrial accidents, and gunshot or knife wounds. The results of repair of iatrogenic injuries and of upper limb accidental injuries were good. The end-results of treatment of accidental major arterial obstruction in the lower limb were bad. The two major causes of failure of treatment were thought to be failure to recognize the arterial injury, and failure to repair it within six hours.
