Results: With a time of evolution which it last of one day to two weeks, in two cases were venous injuries and two artery injuries, in no cases were mixed; in the four cases were commission acts, in two cases had to accident, in one was technique failure and another one was technique error.
Conclusions: The iatrogenic vascular lesions are coarse, many are attributable to external factors and others are not documented, its difficult to have considerer an approximate of the iatrogenic vascular lesions in our country, however the ethics principles should be continued that although they are the same for the whole personnel that works in institutions of health, they are modified according to the circumstances.
