Abstract
Although the incidence of vascular injuries after total knee arthroplasty is quite
low, clinical outcome could be significantly impaired. Quick response and accurate
management are important to achieve the best possible outcome. We present 3 cases
of popliteal pseudoaneurysm formation after total knee arthroplasty and their treatment
by endovascular stenting together with a review of literature.
