Constellation of ipsilateral posterior hip dislocation, intertrochanteric- and proximal tibial fracture with popliteal artery injury is rare. Management of this presentation is challenging. A motor vehicle accident victim presented with these injuries, but without any initial signs of vascular compromise. Popliteal artery injury was diagnosed intra-operatively and repaired. This was followed by...

Constellation of ipsilateral posterior hip dislocation, intertrochantericand proximal tibial fracture with popliteal artery injury is rare. Management of this presentation is challenging. A motor vehicle accident victim presented with these injuries, but without any initial signs of vascular compromise. Popliteal artery injury was diagnosed intra-operatively and repaired. This was followed by e...

To date, no ideal endovascular strategy has been established for traumatic arterial occlusion. Here, we report the outcomes of a combination of endovascular recanalization techniques applied in two patients with high risk of leg amputation. A 33-year-old man with popliteal artery occlusion due to blunt trauma was treated by balloon angioplasty with long inflation time and aspiration thrombectom...

Popliteal artery occlusion is a rare vascular complication in athletes and has not been previously documented in baseball players. A 21-year-old male baseball player presented with a 10-month history of progressive claudication because of repeated trauma-induced popliteal artery occlusion from frequently practicing stealing bases by sliding down onto his right leg. He was found to have a transi...

BACKGROUND Popliteal fossa pseudoaneurysms as a result of trauma are not uncommon. However, spontaneous pseudoaneurysms as a result of non-traumatic rupture of posterior tibial artery (PTA), anterior tibial artery (ATA), or tibioperoneal trunk (TPT) artery segment are extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous popliteal fossa pseudoaneurysm resulting from spontaneous avulsion of the ATA an...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013202066 DESCRIPTION A 72-year-old man, with known atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation, presents to the general practitioner with a 1-week history of a new tender, right swollen leg. The popliteal pulse was not palpable due to oedema. Distal pulses were present with no neurological defici...

PURPOSE To evaluate our results of stent-graft implantation for the endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients underwent repair of iatrogenic, traumatic, or spontaneous vascular lesions by means of endovascular stent-grafts. The study cases consisted of 10 cardiac catheterization-induced femoral arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) located between...
