Trauma to peripheral vascular organ is a very frequent condition during military conflicts. Fortunately, comprehensive understanding of local and systemic pathophysiology, in addition to the development of innovative surgical techniques and technological advances, have improved the outcome regarding to survival and anatomic and functional conservation of the limbs. In this manuscript, we perform an historical and state of the art review related to the approach of the peripheral vascular trauma, on the basis of an heroical episode from the Mexico City’s Campaign, during North American invasion 1846-1848: the defense of Chapultepec’s Castle by cadet Agustin Melgar.
