Summary

Surgery is recommended for popliteal aneurysms due to frequent complications. Early intervention improves limb salvage and graft patency, especially for symptomatic peripheral artery aneurysms.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Arterial Aneurysm Research

Background:

  • Popliteal artery aneurysms are the most common type of peripheral arterial aneurysm.
  • This study describes clinical presentations, diagnostic evaluations, surgical treatments, and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate surgical treatment outcomes for popliteal aneurysms.
  • To compare results between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 65 popliteal aneurysms in 48 patients treated between 1982 and 1998.
  • Surgical interventions included limb revascularization with graft interposition, amputation, and lumbar sympathectomy.
  • Patient data included aneurysm presentation (symptomatic vs. asymptomatic), age, sex, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Mean follow-up was 6.5 years.
  • Significant differences were observed in limb salvage and graft patency between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (p < 0.01).
  • Amputation incidence was significantly higher in symptomatic cases.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical intervention is the preferred treatment for popliteal aneurysms, including smaller ones, due to high complication rates.
  • Prompt surgical management is crucial for favorable outcomes, particularly limb salvage.
