Last century saw a marked increase in vascular injuries and their treatment has been improved from the experience gained in the major conflicts in the latter half of the last century. This trend of increasing numbers of vascular injuries has been perpetuated by a rise in civilian violence.

This article reviews the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of vascular injury and outlines some of the advances in endovascular techniques for treating vascular trauma.

Key Words: vascular trauma
