ARRIAGADA I, CRISTIÁN et al. Post traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery: Case report. Rev Chil Cir [online]. 2011, vol.63, n.2, pp.204-206. ISSN 0718-4026. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-40262011000200013.
Pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery is an uncommon condition that is usually caused by a traumatic injury or an iatrogenic intervention. The patient usually complains of an enlarging painless, pulsatile mass. We report a previously healthy 49 years old male presenting with a pulsatile mass of his left foot and a history of a traumatic lesion in the zone three months ago. A Doppler ultrasound examination confirmed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery of 2.6 x 1.5 cm diameter. The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass and suture ligation of the artery. The postoperative period was uneventful.
