title: Endovascular stent graft repair of iatrogenic popliteal artery injuries--a report of 2 cases.
abstract: Popliteal artery injury during total knee replacement (TKR) is rare. We report 2 cases of post-TKR popliteal artery occlusions treated endovascularly with Viabahn stent grafts. Long-term duplex follow-up and secondary re-intervention may be necessary.
