title: Difficult peripheral vascular injuries.
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.
