Endovascular Stent Graft Repair of Iatrogenic Popliteal Artery Injuries—A Report of 2 Cases

Popliteal artery injury during total knee replacement (TKR) is rare. We report 2 cases of post-TKR popliteal artery occlusions treated endovascularly with Viabahn stent grafts. Long-term duplex follow-up and secondary re-intervention may be necessary.
