Abstract
Peripheral artery disease exerts a substantial toll on public health in the United States, straining healthcare resources. In challenging cases, the axillofemoral bypass graft had emerged as a cornerstone in managing this condition. Unforeseen events, such as trauma, can lead to a presentation mimicking stroke and thus exacerbating the complexity of the diagnostic process. Herein, we present the case of a 64-year-old male with complex peripheral artery disease who developed a pseudoaneurysm mimicking stroke symptoms following a traumatic incident post axillofemoral bypass graft surgery. This case underscores the critical importance of employing diverse diagnostic modalities to navigate the complex differential diagnosis of stroke-like symptoms in patients post-surgery.
