Popis: Arterial injuries associated with pseudoaneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas are usually due to penetrating trauma. Endovascular treatment modalities are emerging as an alternative and less invasive method compared to the conventional surgical repair methods. Herein we report our recent experience on with two cases of traumatic arterial injury who were successfully managed by using stent-grafts with endovascular approach. Endovascular treatment options should be remembered as an alternative to the surgical repair for management of penetrating arterial injuries.
