RESUMO
We present a clinical case of chronic dissection of the anterior tibial artery leading to acute aneurysmal dilatation. Our patient, a 22-year-old man, had a history of trauma at the middle third of his left leg. Because of impending ischemia, he was diagnosed by emergency arteriography. We ligated the proximal and distal ends of the dissection and used a reversed saphenous vein for a short end-to-end bypass.
