Surgical Treatment of a Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Total Knee Arthroplasty

Abstract

Introduction: Vascular complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uncommon but they can compromise the viability of the limbs. The incidence of popliteal pseudoaneurysms after total knee arthroplasty varies from 0.03 to 0.5%. We present the case of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm as a complication after a TKA.
