Treatment of arterial traumatic injuries is usually performed with conventional revascularization techniques. However, vascular injuries can increasingly be repaired efficiently through minimally invasive procedures. We report four cases of extremity arterial trauma treated by endovascular techniques in a reference center. All patients showed satisfactory development over a 15-month follow-up. We suggest that endovascular therapy is a promising alternative to surgery for selected patients with extremity arterial trauma.Keywords: Vascular trauma, pseudoaneurysm, ischemia, emergency treatment.

Nós descrevemos quatro casos de trauma arterial dos membros que foram tratados por técnicas endovasculares num centro de referência. Todos os pacientes evoluíram satisfatoriamente durante o seguimento de 15 meses. Nós sugerimos que o tratamento endovascular é uma alternativa promissora em relação à cirurgia para pacientes selecionados com trauma arterial dos membros.
