[Iatrogenic vascular lesions as sequelae of therapeutic and invasive diagnostic measures]

When studying the etiology of trauma-induced injury, it is apparent that there is an increasing incidence of iatrogenic vascular lesions. One reason for this phenomenon is that many vascular procedures, including invasive catheteral procedures, minimally invasive interventions and osteosynthetic operations, are being performed more frequently. In such emergent clinical situations, prompt and appropriate diagnostic evaluation and reconstruction of affected vessels are required for a successful outcome.
