Figure 3. (A) Pallor appeared in the right foot on the 9th day after the injury. (B) Angiography of the right lower limb showed poor circulation in the anterior tibial artery (yellow arrowhead) and interruption of blood flow at the site of anastomosis of the posterior tibial artery (yellow arrow). (C) The black arrow indicates the proximal suture site of the posterior tibial artery. An anastomotic thrombus occurred immediately after vascular anastomosis, and blood flow was not seen from the distal end of the graft (white arrow).
