Delayed Presentation of Popliteal Pseudo-aneurysm Following Soccer Football Injury

The pseudo–aneurysm severely compressed the native artery, and open exploration with surgical vein–patch repair of the artery was chosen in preference to endovascular stent–graft in view of the compressive symptoms and large size of the chronic pseudo–aneurysm. This case highlights the importance of imaging such as duplex ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance angiography if symptoms persist after sports injury.
