[Iatrogeni vascular injuries (author's transl)]

We report on 34 intraogenic vascular injuries. In nine cases vascular trauma occured secondary to diagnostic procedures. The other 25 cases were due to therapeutic measures. Vascular reconstruction was successfull in all cases, except 2, which required above-knee amputation because of ischaemic damage. The causes of death in 4 cases were malignant diseases or multiple traumatic injuries.
