Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the peripheral arterial vasculature occur infrequently. The majority of the experience with these lesions is from this century's wartime experience. Pseudoaneurysms of the tibial vessels comprise only three to seven per cent of all pseudoaneurysms and only seven cases of anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysms have been reported in the American and British literature since World War II. A high index of suspicion must be maintained for prompt detection of these lesions. Formerly, injuries of the tibial vessels were managed by nonoperative measures or exploration and arterial ligation. These approaches were met with varying results. The evolution of current vascular surgical techniques allows successful reconstruction of these vessels. We wish to report a successful method of repair of symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the anterior tibial artery using a saphenous vein interposition graft. This technique restored arterial continuity and allowed maximal opportunity for limb salvage. Additional management techniques are discussed and compared in order to improve rapid diagnosis and provide efficient treatment.
