Surgical Treatment for Right Anterior Tibial Artery Aneurysm

Abstract

A 77-year-old woman noticed a pulsatile mass on her right lower leg 2 months previously. Computed tomography revealed the presence of a right anterior tibial artery aneurysm. We performed resection of the aneurysm surgically. Histological analysis revealed that it was a true aneurysm. After the surgery, deep peroneal nerve dysfunction occurred. For the treatment of peripheral artery aneurysms, we must try to avoid nerve complications and we must have a choice of endovascular therapy.
