title: Vascular trauma: late sequelae and treatment.
abstract: 58 patients presenting with late manifestations of vascular trauma underwent operative correction at an average of 37.2 months from the date of injury. False aneurysms alone were seen in 23 patients, arteriovenous fistulae in another 35, and both lesions concurrently in 6 patients. Excellent results were achieved in 54 patients, fair results in 4 patients, and only 3 patients required later reoperation despite the chronic nature of these lesions.
