Abstract

Aneurysms of the tibioperoneal trunk (TPT) with peripheral arterial lesions are extremely rare. We present a case of a 68-year-old man who underwent surgical treatment for a mycotic aneurysm of the TPT. This report highlights the importance of en bloc surgical resection of the mycotic aneurysm and an appropriate approach with an air tourniquet for the prevention of injuries to the adherent tissues.
