In a series of 250 civilian vascular injuries, 85 per cent were due to firearms and 50 per cent involved the torso, both of which represent an increased frequency of occurrence over other reports. There were 40 deaths, 31 of which occurred during operation or in the recovery room and were due to irreversible shock or coagulopathy. Of the nine late deaths, failure of the vascular repair was responsible for only three. In 124 extremity artery injuries, there were 12 leg amputations (10%) with shotgun wounds responsible for nine and popliteal artery injuries involved in seven. In gunshot wounds of the aorta and iliac arteries, there were five suture line disruptions in nine primary repairs and no disruptions in 11 patients repaired by grafts. The evidence indicates that an antibiotic soaked dacron graft is the method of choice to repair gunshot wounds of the aorta and iliac arteries at this time.
