Arterial trauma is an injury of high emergency for the possibility of bleeding-out and trombosis, therefore demanding a fast and precise diagnosis. The CT examination enables the radiologist to come to a correst diagnosis while also enabling the evaluation of distal complications of arterial trauma and its relations to other bodily structures. The quality of the CT examination has great value in preserving the life of a patient, minimalising damage and the return of function. The research used data collected from the Registry of patients of the Clinic of Vascular Surgery in Rijeka and from the IBIS and ISSA systems. This way, a total of 29 patients with arterial trauma have been found in the year 2018. The research was based on the incidence of arterial trauma in males and females, age predispositions, methods of diagnosis, significant artefacts on the CT, localization of arterial trauma and the etiology of the arterial injury in patients whose diagnosis has been proven by the CT examination. In a total of 29 patients, 21 of them were male and 8 were female. The age group with the biggest number of arterial trauma was that between the age of 61 and 70 years old with 9 patients sorted into this group. 19 patients received their diagnosis using CT, 5 diagnoses have been determined using clinical examination, and 3 using ultrasound while it was not possible to access the data of 2 patients. All the CT examinations have been technically successful and only one showed more significant artefacts of a metal object. However, these artefacts didn't disrupt the lesion area nor the diagnosis. In the total of 19 patients whose diagnosis was proven by CT, 17 patients were affected by iatrogenic trauma - the injury was of cardiological nature in 7 patients, chirurgical in 6 and interventional radiological in 3 patients. The biggest number of patients (10) were diagnosed with trauma of the common femoral artery. These results are in correlation with the increase in the number of cardiovascular diseases and a greater need for endovascular and chirurgical procedures of the vascular system.
