- Abstract
Tibial artery pseudoaneurysms can occur in the setting of trauma. Operative exposure and repair of these injuries can be challenging, and surgical management options include direct arterial repair, interposition grafting, or arterial ligation. Other techniques including duplex-guided compression, thrombin injection, and endovascular intervention have been described. We present the case of a 39-year-old man who sustained blunt trauma to his right lower extremity and developed a delayed symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery. He was successfully managed with endovascular stent graft exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. Endovascular stent-grafting techniques can be successfully applied to the management of traumatic tibial pseudoaneurysms.
