Purpose: To report endovascular treatment of 2 patients with aneurysmal deterioration of peripheral arterial allografts. Case Report: Two men (65 and 64 years old) who had undergone an arterial allograft reconstruction for infection of prosthetic infrapopliteal bypass grafts 5 and 7 years ago, respectively, were diagnosed with asymptomatic aneurysmal deterioration of the allografts. Stent-graft repair was successful in both cases, completely excluding the aneurysms. At ≥1 year, continued aneurysm exclusion was confirmed by duplex scan, with no evidence of endoleak, migration, or stenosis. Conclusion: Endovascular treatment may be a useful therapeutic option when treating patients with late peripheral allograft deterioration.

Purpose: To describe the successful endovascular treatment of a popliteal arteriovenous fistula with a stent-graft. Case Report: A 54-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a distal popliteal arteriovenous fistula following an arthroscopic meniscectomy 6 years earlier. Three surgical attempts to close the fistula were undertaken, but the fistula recurred. He now presented with symptoms of progressive venous hypertension with claudication, swelling of the leg, and ulceration at the ankle. The fistula was closed with a stent-graft deployed percutaneously. At 18 months, the patient is doing well; duplex evaluation has documented the patency of the popliteal artery and the stent-graft. Conclusions: Endovascular treatment of a popliteal arteriovenous fistula is an alternative to open surgical reconstruction. In this situation, after multiple failed surgical closures and in a leg with extensive venous hypertension, it may be the best treatment option.

Purpose: To present a patient who developed an asymptomatic large iliac pseudoaneurysm complicating stent-supported iliac artery recanalization. Case Report: The pseudoaneurysm was detected in an asymptomatic 69-year-old man during routine angiography 6 months after an uncomplicated procedure to implant 3 overlapping Palmaz stents in an occluded external iliac artery. There was no evidence of stent infection. During a second intervention, the pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by percutaneous implantation of an EndoPro System I stent-graft. Contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomography at 6 and 12 months confirmed the durability of aneurysm exclusion and the patency of the endoprosthesis. Conclusions: Angioplasty-induced pseudoaneurysm is rare and usually asymptomatic, but elective percutaneous stent-graft repair should be considered as the first treatment option.
