They were all identified in a delayed manner (&gt;3 weeks) after the orthopedic injuries were treated. All patients presented with pain and a pulsatile mass while one concurrently had neurologic deficits. The pseudoaneurysms were diagnosed by duplex ultrasound and confirmed by angiography to be originating from the tibioperoneal trunk, anterior tibial, and posterior tibial arteries respectively. Two patients were treated with surgical excision. Of these, one required an arterial bypass procedure while the other underwent direct ligation only. The third patient was treated by endovascular coiling. A literature review from 1950 to the present found 51 reported cases of IAP resulting from blunt trauma. Ninety percent of trauma-related infrapopliteal injuries occurred in men with a mean delay in diagnosis of 5.6 months (median 1.8 months) after injury. Since 1950, management has shifted from primarily ligation to incorporating minimally invasive endovascular techniques when appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Infrapopliteal artery pseudoaneurysms are rare following blunt skeletal trauma. A delay in diagnosis often occurs and can result in major morbidity and extensive surgical intervention. We recommend a high index of suspicion and a thorough vascular examination in patients with lower extremity skeletal trauma to help identify and treat these injuries early and effectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1538574420907184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,21]],"date-time":"2020-02-21T04:51:53Z","timestamp":1582260713000},"page":"367-374","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Infrapopliteal Arterial Pseudoaneurysm Development Secondary to Blunt Trauma: Case Series and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7415-270X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew T.","family":"Chrencik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"},{"name":"Vascular Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Caraballo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"},{"name":"Vascular Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Yokemick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"},{"name":"Vascular Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter J.","family":"Pappas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vein Restoration, Morristown, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brajesh K.","family":"Lal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"},{"name":"Vascular Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khanjan","family":"Nagarsheth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"},{"name":"Vascular Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-197005000-00001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Drapanas T Hewitt RL Weichert RF III Smith AD.
