  "abstract": "Distal embolization is a concern during endovascular repair of thrombosed popliteal artery aneurysm. We describe the “Pave and Cover” strategy, in which rotational thrombectomy is used to create a device-traversable channel before stent graft delivery, with the aim of reducing device-thrombus interaction. A 75-year-old man without suitable venous conduit underwent rotational thrombectomy followed by direct covered stent graft deployment. Complete aneurysm exclusion was achieved without angiographically evident distal embolization, and ankle-brachial index improved from unmeasurable to 1.06. One-month imaging confirmed stent graft patency. This case is hypothesis-generating and does not establish embolic protection or superiority.",
