ABELLO, Ana Lorena; GALVIS, Víctor Raúl  and  ESCOBAR, William. Endovascular approach of tibial peroneal trunk pseudo-aneurysm. Colomb. Med. [online]. 2010, vol.41, n.3, pp.267-270. ISSN 1657-9534.

This is a case report of a patient with tibioperoneal trunk pseudoaneurysm secondary to firearm injury. Through endovascular intervention, two covered stents were placed on the lesion, with exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm and preservation of the vessel of origin. Arterial Doppler follow up 20 days after intervention revealed adequate stent permeability. In cases of complex extremity trauma with osteo-musculo-vascular involvement, endoluminal repair seems to be a useful tool in distal vessels.

Keywords : Pseudoaneurysm; tibioperoneal trunk; covered stent; endovascular repair; vascular injury; aneurysm.
