title: [Prognosis of iatrogenic and accidental vascular trauma].
abstract: The prognostic of vascular trauma does not only depend on the associated lesions and time before treatment. Without obvious symptoms, serious vascular lesions can be overlooked. A preexisting arteriosclerosis explains the different outcome in geriatric patients. 84 cases of vascular trauma were observed between 1969 and 1977. 33 of these cases were iatrogenic. The patients involved are examined clinically and undergo ultrasonic velocity detection before and after effort (test of Strandness). The outcome showed 5 deaths, 7 amputations and 8 vascular sequela. Only 2 deaths and 3 amputations are directly related to the vascular trauma.
