A case of team-treated thrombosed popliteal artery caused by blunt limb trauma with open tibia fracture is presented. Thrombosed artery was treated by endovascular pulse-spray method using Angiomed catheter. Implementation of this method allowed us to dissolve thrombus and to retrieve arterial circulation in the limb. In our opinion this procedure was an alternative for traditional surgery. After revascularisation of the limb orthopedic operation on fractured bones was performed using Zespol technique.
