| Summary: | Infrapopliteal pseudoaneurysms are rare and usually occur secondary to trauma. Though there are no consensus regarding the management of the same, endovascular treatment has become an alternate option to open surgical management. In this report, we describe two cases of posttraumatic infrapopliteal pseudoaneurysms involving crural arteries. Both the cases were managed successfully with endovascular stent graft placement with complete exclusion of pseudoaneurysm. Our results show that endovascular stent grafting is a good alternative to open repair in infrapopliteal pseudoaneurysms, although long-term efficacy of this approach needs to be established. |
