Although its uncommon, ischemia and hemorrhage can be limb threatening and life threatening. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is therefore crucial. Delay in management allows irreversible ischemic injury to take place and encourages propagation of intravascular thrombosis, which results in eventual loss of function or even limb itself. Management of vascular trauma often present a challenge due to lack necessarily setting in developing countries, adding to that additional burden from terrorist attack between time to time. Objective: the aim of this study is to show the relationship between delay in surgical interference and outcome of surgery and to collect data about different aspect of epidemiology and management of peripheral vascular injuries.
