Abstract
Vascular injury of the popliteal artery or its branches after knee arthrosc opy is a rare but potentially devastating complication. We report two cases of sural artery branch pseudoaneurysms resulting from knee arthroscopy. Bo th patients were successfully treated with transcatheter embolization of th e pseudoaneurysms. The diagnosis and treatment options of this unusual inju ry are discussed.
