Transarterial Coil Embolization of a Symptomatic Posttraumatic Plantar Pseudoaneurysm

Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms of the lateral plantar artery are rare. We report the case of a31-year-old woman with a painful pseudoaneurysm of the lateral plantar artery resulting froma deep plantar cut injury. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by performing atransarterial “frontdoor-back...

Description
Summary:Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms of the lateral plantar artery are rare. We report the case of a31-year-old woman with a painful pseudoaneurysm of the lateral plantar artery resulting froma deep plantar cut injury. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by performing atransarterial “frontdoor-backdoor” coil embolization technique, which is a minimally invasivealternative to conventional ligature of the artery.
