Acute arterial occlusions are uncommon complications in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This complication is seen more in TKA revision surgery, and when appropriate treatment cannot be made, amputation may be necessary. The present case is here presented of a patient applied with TKA revision and popliteal artery occlusion developed in the early postoperative period. The patient was a 70-year old female not actively working. The diagnosis of popliteal artery occlusion, which formed after the revision surgery. Before the decision for reoperation, the diagnosis was confirmed with advanced examination such as computed tomography angiography at the 3rd hour. Arterial exploration was made at the 4th hour. No arterial active bleeding had been observed intraoperatively. Popliteal thrombectomy was applied of popliteal artery trombosis. Acute arterial occlusion is a rarely encountered complication, but it requires emergency intervention. In revision knee artroplasthy surgery, postoperative vascular examination should be done more carefully, and advanced radiological examination should be performed in case of suspicious arterial examination.
