Pseudoaneurysms are among the most serious complications of percutaneous balloon angioplasty. Although pseudoaneurysm rupture rarely happens, when it does, the result can be fatal; thus, early detection and management are crucial. In this report, we disclose the case of a 34-year-old male with end-stage renal disease who presented with a huge symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the left popliteal artery, following percutaneous balloon angioplasty three months prior. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully excluded using interventional treatment. The patient recovered well, and the follow-up was uneventful, with excellent patency of the covered stent.
