Two cases of unusual forms of peripheral arterial embolization are presented. One had a septic embolization with necrosis of the popliteal artery due to subacute bacterial endocarditis and the other had a malignant embolization of the abdominal aorta bifurcation due to lung tumor. Both underwent successful surgical treatment.
