Background: The diabetic foot is a common cause of disability and death, and comorbid foot infections usually lead to prolonged hospitalization, high healthcare costs, and a significant increase in amputation rates. And most diabetic foot trauma is complicated by lower extremity arteriopathy, which becomes an independent risk factor for major amputation in diabetic foot patients.
Aim: To establish the efficacy and safety of endovascular revascularization (ER) combined with vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) for the treatment of diabetic foot.

We present a successful case of treating an infected popliteal aneurysm in a 71-year-old man who arrived at the emergency department in a septic state, reporting a three-week history of fever, lethargy, general malaise, and pain and swelling in the right popliteal fossa. Previously diagnosed with a sizable right popliteal aneurysm, the patient had undergone endovascular treatment using a Viabahn (WL Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, USA) endoprosthesis two months earlier. His fever and malaise emerged a week following minor surgery for a toe infection (panaritium) on the right foot, leading to subsequent necrotic lymphangitis on the dorsum of the same foot.
