Management of vascular injuries of the extremities. One hundred and fifteen cases.

In between the years 1984-1989, 115 peripheral arterial injuries were admitted to the Emergency Surgical Unit of Istanbul Medical Faculty. Seventy-two patients (62%) had upper extremity and 43 patients (38%) had lower extremity vascular injuries. Twenty-eight of these cases (24%) were due to blunt trauma, angiographic studies were obtained in 26 patients. There were 9.5% mortality and 7% amputation rate. We conclude that arterial injuries deserves early recognition, rapid fixation of osseous injuries, wide debridement, fasciotomy in blunt injuries and proper antimicrobial therapy.

Acute occlusive disease of the brachial artery.

Acute occlusive disease of the brachial artery has been increasing in frequency due to the aging of the population and the developing modalities in the treatment of cardiac patients and in the diagnosis of vascular diseases. In this study, we discussed 54 cases of acute occlusion of the brachial artery that we encountered in the 5 year period between 1982 and 1987. We performed embolectomy or thrombectomy in 49 patients and carried out conservative treatment in 5 patients. Amputation and mortality rates were 13% and 5.6% respectively. The disease was observed to be mode common in women and in the winter months.
