Abstract

We report the successful treatment of a postoperative pseudoaneurysm of a popliteal artery, which was associated with an arteriovenous fistula to the popliteal vein using an endovascular placement of a PTFE-covered stent graft. After a one-month follow-up, there was an in-stent stenosis, which was managed by balloon angioplasty. The patient was well with mild leg discomfort after a 3-month follow-up.
