Giant traumatic popliteal artery (PA) pseudoaneurysms (PSA) are rare but limb threatening if untreated. Management can be challenging, as no standardized approach exists. This report evaluates our experience with 3 cases treated differently. Treatment is individualized based on patient disease and comorbidities. Endovascular and local patch arterial repair are safe alternatives to graft bypass when feasible.
