Anterior Tibial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Post-Endovascular Atherectomy and Revascularization

Anterior tibial arterial pseudoaneurysms are a rare form of pseudoaneurysms that are not often reported in literature and are caused by injury to the arterial wall with resultant contained hematoma and turbulent blood flow. Presented here is a case of an anterior tibial arterial pseudoaneurysm that developed following surgical atherectomy and revascularization in a 63-year-old patient. On presentation, the patient had left lower extremity pain that worsened with palpation and that revealed an expanding pseudoaneurysm over two days from 8 mm × 5 mm to 1.6 cm × 2 cm that required open surgery and had patch angioplasty.
