[Diagnosis and management of peripheral vascular injuries].

Peripheral vascular injuries are the cause of high morbidity in trauma patients. Up to 5 % of all patients with injuries of the extremities present with concomitant vascular lesions. While open peripheral vascular injuries are associated with a high mortality at the scene of the accident, closed vascular injuries present the danger of developing critical tissue ischemia with a high risk of amputation and limb loss.

[Does a type II endoleak occur after surgical elimination of a popliteal artery aneurysm? An Analysis of 42 patients and a comparison with current literature].

Unlabelled: In a clinical follow-up of our therapeutic results for popliteal artery repair, there were 2  recurrences. Angiomorphologically the results could be classified as an endoleak type  II form.

Method: In a retrospective analysis of 56  popliteal artery aneurysms in our vascular surgery department between September 2000 and 2010, 47  cases underwent surgical and 9  cases endovascular repair.
