title: [Repeat rupture of covered rupture of non-anastomotic false aneurysm after femoropopliteal bypass].
abstract: For arterial reconstructions veins or alloplastic vascular prostheses are used. Nonanastomotic pseudoaneurysms of vascular protheses are a rare event. Breaks of the suture material, structural defects of the transplant fabric or degenerative modifications in the recipient vessel can cause nonanastomotic or anastomotic pseudoaneurysms. Such pseudoaneurysms are known from early clinical application of ePTFE grafts. In the case presented a nonanastomotic rupture of a ePTFE graft is described with partial repair of the rupture site by fibroblasts and connective tissue, which prevented bleeding.
