[Gunshot injury of superficial femoral artery. Surgical treatment without preoperative angiography: a case report].
The superficial femoral artery is the most frequently injured vessel in lower limb traumas. The traumatic agents responsible may be gunshot, blunt instrument and stab wounds. Preoperative angiography is often used to choose the most appropriate surgical approach for limb salvage. We report a case of a traumatic gunshot lesion of the superficial femoral artery surgically treated with a great saphenous vein bypass without preoperative angiography.
