Abstract:
We present a case of delayed rupture of a femoro-popliteal saphenous vein bypass graft after stent-supported angioplasty, resulting in a large, severely symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the thigh. This was successfully treated with deployment of a covered stent graft. The possible mechanisms of pseudoaneurysm formation in this case are discussed, and a brief review of the literature regarding the endovascular management of this clinical entity is offered.
