Abstract

Background: For patients suffering from trauma around the knee joint, the clinician should be highly vigilant about the risk of popliteal artery acute thrombosis. It is essential to promptly detect and treat acute popliteal artery thrombosis for limb salvaging. Further diagnostic procedures may be performed according to the patient’s hemodynamics. Doppler should be considered done bedside, while CTA should be considered if the obstruction could not be concluded by physical examination. Case: A 40-year-old male complained of a bluish left leg, difficulty in movement, and decreased sensation. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) evaluation revealed total occlusion of the left popliteal artery. An open wound that was managed improperly was referred to a vascular surgeon in the central hospital to be further treated. The patient was hospitalized for 3 days for anastomosis monitoring and discharged uneventfully. Conclusion: Sapheno Femoral Graft End-to-End Anastomose is an effective therapeutic option in patients with total occlusion popliteal artery.
