An appropriate graft selection is essential to peripheral artery reconstruction. We successfully treated an 87-year-old man who presented with distal thromboembolism from the popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) in the right lower extremity. We performed aneurysm replacement using the right superficial femoral vein graft because of his small-diameter saphenous veins. The ischemic symptoms were improved and postoperative swelling of the right leg disappeared four months after the surgery. We observed the graft patency for 20 months until he died of cancer. The superficial femoral vein is a feasible graft for PAA repair because of a size equal to the native arteries although close attention should be paid to postoperative bleeding.

A 60-year-old man visited our hospital for right second toe pain that had persisted for a month. He was diagnosed with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the toe by CT angiography and ultrasonography and underwent resection of the lesion and ligation of the feeding artery; however, it recurred 3 months later. The patient underwent foam sclerotherapy of the toe under blood flow restriction and was cured without toe necrosis. No recurrence occurred within the 2-year follow-up period. Although AVMs are rare, their recurrence after surgery is common. Foam sclerotherapy is a simple and effective treatment for recurrent or difficult-to-treat cases.
