Abstract

Abdominal vascular lesions are amongst the most lethal lesions suffered by patients with multiple injuries, as well as being among the most difficult and challenging for the surgeon. They are rarely isolated, they are usually found with associated multiple injuries, which increases its seriousness and the time required to repair them and may lead to a significant morbidity and mortality. The correct management involves an early diagnosis and surgical approach.
