Tibioperoneal trunk pseudoaneurysm coil embolization.
BACKGROUND
Pseudoaneurysms of the tibioperoneal trunk are rare and can be limb threatening. There are various treatment options to seal pseudoaneuryms both percutaneously and via open surgery.


METHODS
Description of the case of a large tibioperoneal trunk pseudoaneurysm that has been successfully treated by coil embolization in a patient with a previous endocarditis.


CONCLUSIONS
Endovascular treatment of pseudoaneurysm should be considered as an alternative treatment option to open surgery.
