TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Posterior tibial artery aneurysm caused by trauma: a case report JO - Annals of vascular diseases A1 - Matsubayashi, Yuji A1 - Suzuki, Tomoaki A1 - Miyashita, Fumihiro SP - 223 EP - 225 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - In this study, we present a case of 59-year-old man with a posterior tibial artery (PTA) aneurysm. Mostly, PTA aneurysm is caused by trauma, infection, and iatrogenic injury. The patient had a history of ankle trauma that occurred 2 years ago. Computed tomography and ultrasonography showed a 7×14 mm PTA aneurysm. The aneurysm was resected and primary end-to-end anastomosis was performed. So far, there are only few reported cases of PTA aneurysm. Herein, we describe the surgical strategy and provide detailed intraoperative images.
