Surg Clin North Am. 1996 Aug;76(4):843-59. doi: 10.1016/s0039-6109(05)70484-9.

Abstract

Successful management of the difficult peripheral vascular injury requires a multidisciplinary approach. Prompt recognition of the vascular injury and adherence to the recognized principles of vascular repair provide a successful short-term surgical result. The long-term consequences of an injury are determined by the associated orthopedic, soft tissue, and nerve injuries.
