Abstract
Blunt vascular trauma is rare and challenging in management. Trauma victims who are elderly and have medical comorbidities are still uncommon, but their proportion is expected to increase, as life expectancy has been rising worldwide. A case of blunt vascular trauma to the lower extremity in a 70-year-old patient is reported. During the procedure, a contusion of the superficial femoral artery with thrombosis was identified. Besides, the artery was found to be affected by atherosclerosis. Thrombectomy with resection of the artery and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Good early clinical outcome was achieved. Nonsystematic review of the available literature is also presented.
