Endoluminal repair of a Dardik prosthesis pseudoaneurysm using the Wallgraft endoprosthesis

A 58-year-old man with a history of severe invalidating claudicatio intermi ttens underwent femoropopliteal bypass with a human umbilical vein graft. S even years later he presented with a painful enlarging mass in the middle p ortion of his right thigh. The duplex scan showed a pseudoaneurysm of the b ody of the prosthesis, which was confirmed by angiography. As an alternativ e to surgical management, Wallgraft endoprosthesis was used for endoluminal exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. To our knowledge, this technique has neve r been used before in such a case.
