Dorsalis pedis artery pseudoaneurysm

ABSTRACT

An unusual case report is described here, of a young man who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the left Dorsalis Pedis Artery [DPA] ten years earlier, following a blunt injury. He sustained a recent injury to the same foot following which, the lump became enlarged and painful. Doppler flow studies and angiography confirmed the diagnosis and revealed the causative ostium through which this partially thrombosed aneurysm had arisen. Successful aneurysmectomy and end-to-end LSV bypass graft surgery was followed by complete recovery
