Vascular complications after total knee arthroplasty are rare, with incidence ranging between 0.03% and 0.2%. We describe a case of a popliteal artery false aneurysm after total knee arthroplasty successfully treated by deployment of an angioplasty balloon across the aneurysm neck resulting in thrombosis.
