Popliteal vein aneurysms are rare vascular conditions. Surgical treatment, including aneurysmectomy and anticoagulation, offers a safe and effective solution, preventing serious complications like pulmonary embolism.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Popliteal vein aneurysms are uncommon venous malformations.
  • Their exact cause (pathogenesis) remains unclear.
  • Histologically, true venous aneurysms show diminished muscle and fragmented elastic fibers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical experience with four cases of popliteal vein aneurysms.
  • To highlight the diagnostic methods and surgical management of these rare lesions.
  • To emphasize the risk of pulmonary embolism associated with popliteal vein aneurysms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of four patients treated for popliteal vein aneurysms over five years.
  • Diagnosis confirmed using phlebography and duplex Doppler ultrasound.

  • Surgical intervention involved aneurysmectomy with direct suture repair.
  • Post-operative management included oral anticoagulants and elastic compression.

    • Main Results:

    • Four patients with asymptomatic popliteal vein aneurysms underwent successful surgical treatment.
    • All patients received aneurysmectomy with direct suture.
    • Post-operative management with anticoagulants and compression yielded satisfactory outcomes.
    • No major complications, such as pulmonary embolism, were reported in this cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Popliteal vein aneurysms require prompt diagnosis and management.
    • Surgical intervention, specifically aneurysmectomy, is a viable and effective treatment.
    • Adequate post-operative care, including anticoagulation and compression, is crucial for favorable results and complication prevention.
