Successful Interventional Treatment of a Huge Pseudoaneurysm of the Popliteal Artery Caused by a Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty Complication: A Case Report

초록

Pseudoaneurysms are among the most serious complications of percutaneous balloon angioplasty. Although pseudoaneurysm rupture rarely happens, when it does, the result can be fatal; thus, early detection and management are crucial. In this report, we disclose the case of a 34-year-old male with end-stage renal disease who presented with a huge symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the left popliteal artery, following percutaneous balloon angioplasty three months prior. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully excluded using interventional treatment. The patient recovered well, and the followup was uneventful, with excellent patency of the covered stent.
