Case: A 44-year-old man sustained a thrombosed popliteal artery after a closed left knee dislocation after a high-energy motor vehicle collision. He underwent emergency open popliteal artery embolectomy, with insertion of endovascular stent. After arthroscopic multiligamentous knee injury reconstruction (MLKI-R) on day 18 after injury, he developed stent thrombosis, which resolved with urgent percutaneous thrombectomy. Conclusion: This is the first report of popliteal artery stent thrombosis after MLKI-R. Knee surgery in a revascularized limb has remained controversial, but studies are scarce in the literature. Frequent circulation monitoring and vascular specialist availability postoperatively are still key to detecting this complication and early revascularization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
