case_images: Because of the suspicion of an anastomotic leak, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in the interventional radiology suite via the contralateral common femoral artery retrograde access using a 4 French sheath and 4 French Cobra catheter (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN) which showed a pseudoaneurysm (Figure 1) that had developed owing to a leak from one of the tributaries of the saphenous vein that was used as graft; also there was no adequate flow from the posterior tibial artery and the peroneal artery (Figure 1).

case_images: Sheffield, UK) by mixing 1 ml of glue with 2 ml of Lipiodol (Guerbet LLC, Bloomington, IN)] into the neck of the pseudoaneurysm after flushing the microcatheters with 5% dextrose solution. Soon a complete glue cast (Figure 3) formed inside the pseudoaneurysm and the microcatheter was pulled out by yanking.
