title: [Vascular traumatic lesions in childhood and adolescence].
abstract: The authors report their experience about 35 peripheric vascular injuries in childhood and adolescence. They analyze the epidemiological and clinical data and underline the usefulness of careful clinical and instrumental diagnosis. In order to obtain the best result they stress the importance of early revascularization by suturing in short lesions and by autologous tissue in longer lesions. Furthermore, they stress the importance of repairing venous injuries. Bone fractures have to be stabilized before vascular repair, subject to this not requiring prolonged ischemia. The authors conclude that only a multidisciplinary approach can ensure better results.
