Abstract
Aneurysms of the pedal arteries are uncommon; however, they can be identified upon clinical exam and confirmed by angiogram and color-flow duplex scan. Surgical treatment options include ligation or primary repair. The authors present a case of an aneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery in a diabetic patient. Primary repair of the aneurysm was accomplished using a venous autograft patch. The postoperative course was uneventful and the artery remains patent in follow-up.
