“…With improvements in medical technology, treatment options for pseudoaneurysms of the peripheral arteries have evolved to less invasive methods. 27 39 40 41 42 43 44 Advantages of these techniques are the ability to reach locations that would otherwise require extensive open surgical exploration. Furthermore, it allows rapid mobilization and return of the patient to normal activities.…”

Anterior tibial artery is a nonvital artery which is one of the three arteries of the leg. This artery has a short proximal l segment in the popliteal region and a long segment in the anterior compartment of the leg designated as distal segment. With consideration of the deep location of the proximal segment in the popliteal fossa, it is less susceptible to trauma and subsequent formation of an aneurysm. On the contrary, the superficial long distal segment is more susceptible to trauma with high chance of pseudoaneurysm formation at the site of unrecognized injury. In this article, a 38-year-old military man being manifested about a decade after a trivial missile fragment injury with progressive posterior tibial neuropathy is presented. A giant pseudoaneurysm arising from the proximal segment of the anterior tibial artery was confirmed with angiography and the exact size of this pathology was documented with contrasted computed tomographic scan. The aneurysmal sac removal was accomplished after ligation of the corresponding artery proximal and distal to the sac followed by tibial nerve neurolysis which result in full recovery. In careful review we found that neither pseudoaneurysm arising from the proximal tibial artery nor posterior tibial neuropathy due to the compressive effect of the aneurysmal sac of this segment has been reported previously. Our primary purpose for reporting this case is not to describe the rarity of pseudoaneurysm formation at proximal segment of this artery but rather to describe delayed-onset posterior tibial vascular compressive neuropathy due to such an aneurysm. Eventually due to the potential sequel of a pseudoaneurysm, it is important for the surgeons to have high index of suspicion to prevent a missed or delayed diagnosis.

“…Pseudoaneurysms have traditionally been treated by surgical intervention, but several reports have described various techniques for non-surgical repair [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Ultrasound-guided compression is now the initial treatment of choice [1].…”

“…Direct percutaneous embolization of pseudoaneurysms with various embolic agents has been described in several reports [4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. This method is of particular value for lesions that are inaccessible, or in cases where other treatment modalities are not practical or are contraindicated.…”

Balloon-assisted ultrasound-guided direct percutaneous embolization of a peripheral pseudoaneurysm with n-butyl cyanoacrylate

We report the ultrasoundguided direct percutaneous injection of n-butyl cyanoacrylate to embolize an iatrogenic peripheral pseudoaneurysm secondary in a 33-year-old patient undergoing hemodialysis. We protected the parent artery with inflation of an angioplasty balloon across the neck during the cyanoacrylate injection. Complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved without ischemic complication.
