Abstract
The management of 101 cases of traumatic battle-incurred arteriovenous fistulas and false aneurysms has been reported. Ninety patients were operated upon and in four cases the wound closed spontaneously. It is our policy to re-establish the continuity of all major vessels by suture anastomosis, homologous artery graft or autogenous vein graft. Of the sixty-four cases of lesions operated upon in major vessels, continuity was re-established by arterial repair and anastomosis in twenty-three, by autogenous vein grafts in seven and by homologous artery grafts in five. By these methods arterial continuity was reestablished in 54.7 per cent of the major vessels operated upon with only one failure.
