title: [Endovascular therapy for traumatic arterial injury].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the clinical efficacies of endovascular therapy for traumatic arterial intima injury, arterial pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula.
  
  
  METHODS
  From October 2009 to December 2011, 24 patients of arterial intima injury, arterial pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula underwent endovascular therapy including embolism and stent implantation, etc.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among them, 14 patients were punctured directly and another 10 were punctured after the exposure of arteries. The interventions included embolism (n = 3), embolism plus covered stent implantation (n = 2), covered stent implantation (n = 12) and bare stent implantation (n = 7). And the surgical success rate was 100%. After endoluminal treatment, arterial blood flow recovered, arterial pseudoaneurysm shrank, local pain relieved and venous blood pressure decreased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  As an effective therapy for traumatic arterial intima injury, arterial pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula, endovascular therapy has minimal trauma, fewer complications and satisfactory outcomes.
