Background: Pseudoaneurysms (PsAns) of the popliteal and tibioperoneal arteries are very rare and occur as a late complication after arterial injury. This study was undertaken to describe the management of PsAns of the popliteal and tibioperoneal arteries after gunshot injuries in a civilian vascular surgical unit with a large trauma workload.
Methods: A retrospective review of the records of nine patients treated between January 1998 and November 2001 at the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Numune Education and Research Hospital was undertaken.
Results: Nine PsAns of the popliteal and tibioperoneal arteries after gunshot injuries were treated. The delay in diagnosis from the time of injury ranged from 15 days to 14 months, with a median delay of 75 days. One case with graft occlusion was noticed in a patient with a popliteal artery PsAn. In these cases, the early and late patency rate and limb salvage were 100%.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of popliteal and tibioperoneal PsAns is an important factor in successful surgical reconstruction. The operative procedures will be simple if the interval between injury and operation is short, and surgical treatment for PsAns includes reconstruction of both arterial and venous arteries.

Evans Syndrome (ES) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Thrombotic complications in ES patients are uncommon, particularly involving Buerger's Disease (BD). We report a case of a 49-year-old male with ES and a history of diabetes and heavy smoking, presenting with a necrotic wound on his right great toe.

Introduction: Acute limb ischaemia resulting from foreign body embolisation is an infrequent yet critical complication associated with vascular closure devices (VCDs). Despite the widespread use of VCDs, rare complications such as fragment emboli pose unique challenges, necessitating heightened clinical awareness. This case report presents a case of acute limb ischaemia caused by a VCD malfunction following an endovascular procedure.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia due to chronic total occlusion of below-the-knee lesions is one of the most challenging cases for endovascular treatment. Restoring perfusion is crucial, and its success depends on numerous factors. Owing to the recent development of dedicated devices and techniques, endovascular treatment is becoming an alternative to bypass surgery as a first-line treatment, even for the infra-popliteal lesion, because endovascular recanalization outcomes have considerably improved.

Purpose: To report the first chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients who underwent an intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)-assisted percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA).
Case Report 1: An 81-year-old patient presented with CLTI and a heavily calcified lesion of the popliteal artery and tibioperoneal trunk (TPT), with a distal tibial and foot arch occlusion. The patient underwent IVL and drug-coated balloon angioplasty for the distal popliteal artery and of the TPT to improve the inflow prior to pDVA.
