AbstractArterial complications associated with total knee arthroplasty are rare but occasionally life-threatening. Although popliteal artery injuries have been repaired by bypass surgery historically, there are potentially multiple useful methods for the restoration. In this report, we describe a case of acute thrombotic occlusion of the popliteal artery occurring immediately after total knee arthroplasty, and successfully repaired by endovascular therapy with endoluminal balloon inflation.<Learning objective: Popliteal arterial occlusion due to acute arterial injury is a rare but occasionally life-threatening complication after total knee arthroplasty. Popliteal artery injuries have been repaired by surgical bypass grafting for many years....
