Popis: We have described a case of multiple surgeries for a ruptured popliteal artery in an 11-year-old female patient with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She underwent emergency hematoma evacuation and ruptured popliteal artery interposition with the great saphenous vein graft, which was notably fragile during surgery and had ruptured on the seventh postoperative day. We performed another emergency hematoma evacuation and popliteal artery interposition with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft. Despite the early occlusion of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft, she recovered with mild intermittent claudication in the left lower extremity and was discharged on postoperative day 20 after the first surgery.
