Transarterial Coil Embolization of a Symptomatic Posttraumatic Plantar Pseudoaneurysm

Abstract EN

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.
