Özet: Objectives: In this study, we present the results of endovascular stent graft treatment in patients with peripheral pseudoaneurysms in our clinic. Patients and methods: Sixteen patients (14 males, 2 females; mean age 53.7±18.2 years; range 20 to 70 years) with a pseudoaneurysm underwent stent grafting between August 2011 and March 2017. The patient data and follow-up results were retrospectively evaluated. Results: The most common cause of pseudoaneurysm was interventional procedures. The most common location was the superficial femoral artery. Procedures were performed without any difficulties in all patients. The patients were discharged the following day of surgery and followed for 8 to 59 months. Balloon dilation was performed in two patients due to narrowing. One patient required bypass at 20 months. Conclusion: Endovascular procedures can be performed with a high success rate and patient satisfaction in the treatment of pseudoaneurysms and, therefore, they have been increasingly replacing surgery.
