This case study details a ruptured popliteal aneurysm in a patient with Down syndrome, successfully treated with in situ bypass. The procedure restored circulation, demonstrating effective management of complex vascular conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Down Syndrome Research
  • Aneurysm Management

Background:

  • A 56-year-old male with Down syndrome presented with a large distal femoral mass.
  • A history of a 6 cm popliteal aneurysm was noted.
  • The mass had been present for approximately two months.

Observation:

  • The distal femoral mass was suspected to be related to the popliteal aneurysm.
  • Surgical exploration was performed to address the mass and aneurysm.

Findings:

  • The ruptured aneurysm's thrombus was enucleated.
  • The aneurysm was surgically excluded.
  • A femoropopliteal in situ bypass was successfully performed.

Implications:

  • The in situ bypass restored distal blood flow, evidenced by a palpable foot pulse at 12 months.
  • The patient maintained an unchanged peroneal nerve deficit post-surgery.
  • This case highlights a viable surgical approach for ruptured popliteal aneurysms in complex patients.
