The experience with the treatment of 77 patients with 86 traumatic aneurysms and arterial-venous fistulas of the aorta branches and peripheral vessels is analyzed. Three stages of such aneurysms are distinguished by the authors: pulsative hematoma, non-mature aneurysm and mature aneurysm. The expediency of active surgical methods at all the stages of aneurysm is explained and indications for choosing the operative methods are formulated. Good and satisfactory immediate functional results were obtained after operations in 94,6% of patients.
