“…When severe ischemia is associated due to rupture or microembolization, partial foot amputation may be indicated, as reported in literature 13 . It is worth emphasizing that aneurysms may form in other arteries, and that such cases should be followed up in the outpatient clinics with physical examination and vascular ultrasonography of the main arteries 1,2,19,20 .…”

Os aneurismas periféricos merecem atenção pela sua baixa frequência e associação com outros aneurismas arteriais, principalmente o de aorta abdominal. O aneurisma de artéria plantar verdadeiro é ainda mais raro. A escassa literatura disponível concentra-se nos casos de pseudoaneurisma pós-traumático dessa artéria. Relata-se o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 85 anos, com queixa de dor no pé direito ao deambular durante um ano, acompanhada de nódulo pulsátil em região plantar, próximo da base do primeiro pododáctilo. Não havia história prévia de trauma ou cirurgia na região plantar acometida. Realizou-se ecografia vascular e angiorressonância, que diagnosticaram aneurisma de artéria plantar. A paciente foi então submetida à aneurismectomia com ligadura das artérias nutricionais, apresentando boa evolução pós- operatória.

“…1 The most common complications are thromboembolic followed by compression of adjacent structures and rupture; 2 rupture caused by infection is an even rarer event 3 (a few cases have been reported in aneurysmal popliteal arteries and one case in a nonaneurysmal artery). However, a case with extensive emphysema has not been described to date.…”

A rare presentation of ruptured infected popliteal artery aneurysm with massive local emphysema

A 60-year-old male was admitted to our department due to a painful right lower limb, associated with pulsatile edema from the mid-thigh to proximal leg, fever and rapid clinical deterioration. He had had a recent hospitalization due to diarrhea, which improved after hydration and intravenous empirical antibiotic therapy. His medical history was notable for chronic heart failure, hypertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes mellitus type 2, which was poorly controlled. Duplex ultrasonography showed arterial dilatation above and below the right knee. A computed tomography (CT) angiography scan displayed a ruptured popliteal aneurysm (Panel A, arrow) with extravasation into the soft tissues and massive local emphysema (Panels A and B) within the right popliteal fossa and distal femur (Panel C, arrowhead). The maximum diameter was 2.7 cm. The 3D reconstruction identified the exact point of rupture with plaque disruption (Panel D, arrow). The patient underwent a surgical procedure where the distal superficial femoral artery was ligated, the aneurysm was excluded and the affected artery resected. Blood flow was restored through an internal saphenous vein bypass. The patient died due to acute myocardial infarction on the eighth postoperative day. Blood culture was positive for

“…Among men with an AAA, 14% have a femoral or popliteal artery aneurysm (Diwan et al 2000). Intracranial arterial aneurysms and AAA result from different underlying disease processes and exhibit different rupture potentials, yet share many histopathological and biomechanical characteristics (Humphrey, Taylor 2008).…”
