1 Increasing use of endovascular therapy in acute arterial injuries: Analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank  Brian C. Reuben, MD, Matthew G. Whitten, MD, Mark Sarfati, MD, Larry W. Kraiss, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 46, Issue 6, Pages e2 (December 2007) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Endovascular (Endo) procedures by year submitted to the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) from 1997 to No endovascular procedures were recorded by the NTDB from 1994 to The progressive increase in open arterial repair between 1997 and 2000 corresponds with an overall increase in the number of centers reporting data to the NTDB and probably does not represent a true increase in the incidence of arterial trauma.
