AbstractThe records of 82 patients with vascular trauma, treated at the Departments of General Surgery of the Sahlgren's Hospital, Göteborg, between 1969-1978 were revised. Nine patients were female and 73 male. The most common type of trauma was stab wounds. The overall mortality was 10.9%, all being patients with major vascular trauma and/or multiple injuries. Fourteen cases were due to iatrogenic lesions. Of the remaining 68 patients, minor vessels were traumatized in 40 cases, and treated with ligation. In 28 patients some kind of reconstructive procedure was attempted, 23 of these patients survived. All reconstructive procedures in surviving patients were successful. In comparison with international experience, vascular trauma in Sweden seems to be very uncommon.
