Popliteal artery rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication of total knee arthroplasty. In order to prevent dangerous outcomes, such as amputation or death, immediate vascular intervention is needed. This case highlights the importance of intraoperative vigilance and prompt action to mitigate these risks.

A global treatment algorithm was developed for the endovascular revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions and chronic total occlusions, aiming toward a more standardized approach to endovascular treatment in patients with peripheral artery disease. The following steps are proposed. 1) Evaluation of lesion morphology based on preprocedural imaging by Duplex sonography and intravenous ultrasound for selection of lesion preparation tools.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to explore the impact of different planes of popliteal artery injury (PAI) on the risk of amputation in affected limbs.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on ninety-four patients who underwent PAI; these patients were divided into an amputation group (n = 26) and a nonamputation group (n = 68) on the basis of whether limb preservation was successful. The data were reconstructed from computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the patients' lower limbs and measured via AW Volume Share 5 software.

Background: Popliteal artery variants (PAVs) are anatomical deviations of the popliteal artery's branching pattern and should be considered in microsurgical planning for patients undergoing lower extremity (LE) free tissue transfer (FTT). However, there is a significant lack of FTT literature in this patient population. Thus, this study presents our 12-year experience with LE FTT in patients with PAV.
