title: [Endovascular treatment of acute limb ischemia occurred after popliteal stent fracture].
abstract: Angioplasty stenting of popliteal artery lesions is a common procedure in endovascular surgery. Stent fractures in popliteal artery maybe asymptomatic or cause restenosis, false-aneurysm or acute thrombosis. We report one case of acute limb ischemia occurred after a popliteal stent fracture placed four months earlier. The patient underwent an angioplasty stenting, completed with thrombolysis and thrombectomy. This case-report aims to illustrate complications of stent fracture in popliteal artery and possibility's to manage it by endovascular approach.
