The patient was a 64-year old woman. She underwent right total knee arthroplasty at previous hospital, and had a significant hemorrhage from popliteal artery on the next day of the operation. So, she was taken to our hospital on the midnight of the day. We were consulted by ER doctor about uncontrollable hemorrhage the next morning. We performed emergency endovascular surgery with VIABAHN stent-graft (W. L. Gore, Flagstaff, Ariz, USA) and got hemostasis. The stent-graft remain patent for 2 years after the procedure.
