A 58-year-old man with a history of severe invalidating claudicatio intermittens underwent femoropopliteal bypass with a human umbilical vein graft. Seven years later he presented with a painful enlarging mass in the middle portion of his right thigh. The duplex scan showed a pseudoaneurysm of the body of the prosthesis, which was confirmed by angiography. As an alternative to surgical management, Wallgraft endoprosthesis was used for endoluminal exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. To our knowledge, this technique has never been used before in such a case.
