Surgical management of iatrogenic tibio-peroneal trunk false aneurysm

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The number of iatrogenic vascular injuries is increasing because of great number of therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. The causes of pseudo-aneurysms are mainly orthopedic interventions, such as fracture, dislocation, or surgery. We present a 20-year-old patient with past medical history of trauma, and osteosynthesis of the tibia and the fibula, who complains of calf swelling and pain with a tibio-peroneal trunk false aneurysm. The aneurysm was repaired by resection and direct suture of the artery, with favourable postoperative course.
