Endovascular Management of a Peroneal Artery Injury Due to a Military Fragment Wound

  • Case Report

Annals of Vascular Surgery

Abstract

A healthy 29-year-old male suffered bilateral lower extremity fragment wounds resulting in a tense right calf shortly following a wound that required a four-compartment fasciotomy. During treatment of other injuries after medical evacuation he complained of increasing right calf pain. A peroneal pseudoaneurysm (PSA) with a concomitant arteriovenous fistula (AVF) was diagnosed. The distal one-third of the peroneal artery was not visualized, and the posterior tibial and anterior tibial arteries were normal. The patient underwent percutaneous coil embolization of the pseudoaneurysm. Completion arteriography demonstrated no evidence of the PSA and AVF. The patient’s bruit and pain resolved.
