title: Endovascular stent grafting of a posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Endovascular treatment of posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms has become a viable less-invasive option when compared with open repair. In this study, we present a case of a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery in a 34-year-old man treated with endovascular stent grafting. An extensive review of the literature has been performed.
