Ruptured Mycotic Aneurysm of Peroneal Artery

A 61-year-old lady, with history of aortic and mitral valve regurgitation developed infective endocarditis due to acinetobacter following tooth extraction. While on antibiotic treatment, she developed pain and swelling of left calf. Duplex scan was done with a suspicion of deep vein thrombosis. It showed a leaking pseudo aneurysm of the peroneal artery, which was confirmed on angiography. Surgical repair of the defect on the peroneal artery with excision of pseudo aneurysm was done. She recovered on continued antibiotic therapy. Isolated pseudo aneurysm of peroneal artery following infective endocarditis is rare and mimics calf vein thrombosis. Surgical repair may give good results.

Pseudoaneurysm After Foot Surgery

Pseudoaneurysm (PA) is recognized as a rare complication after pediatric foot surgery. We identified the incidence, pertinent clinical features, and response to surgical intervention in PA as a complication of foot surgery. Four PAs were identified after 2,756 foot operations, an overall incidence of 0.14%. These patients typically had symptoms between 2 and 3 months after index operation with an enlarging, pulsatile, compressible mass in the plantar medial aspect of the foot. Arteriography was helpful in planning surgical intervention. Operative treatment consisted of ligation and excision of PA in all patients. Final outcome of foot deformity surgery was not compromised.
