Posterior Tibial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Identified Subsequent to Surgical Wound Dehiscence

Pseudoaneurysm of Posterior Tibial Artery Management: Case Report and Review of Literature

“…The treatment of crural PAs depends on the size and localization of the PA and to the presence of symptoms or complications due to the PA. Symptoms are swelling, an expanding mass, bruising, pain or neurological signs due to nerve compression [9]. Complications of PAs include thrombosis, distal embolism and rupture [10].…”

“…Alternatively, they can be asymptomatic and be diagnosed at a time remote to the injury [8]. In literature, various treatment options have been described, including ultrasound-guided compression, embolization, implantation of covered stent grafts and open surgery [2,[5][6][7][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Endovascular Salvage of a False Aneurysm of the Posterior Tibial Artery Caused by a Stab From a Stingray

“…False aneurysms of the tibial arteries are rare, and the pathophysiology is often of traumatic or iatrogenic origin. Causes may be penetrating vessel trauma, orthopaedic procedures, endovascular surgery, and graft anastomosis [1][2][3][4][5]. Small false aneurysms are often asymptomatic and can sometimes regress completely when thrombosis occurs.…”
