This review of 22 popliteal aneurysm cases found surgical treatment yielded no mortality. Intervention is recommended for elderly, asymptomatic patients, often presenting with acute ischemia.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Popliteal aneurysms are a significant cause of lower limb ischemia.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for limb salvage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review outcomes of surgically treated popliteal aneurysms.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of intervention in elderly, asymptomatic patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 22 popliteal aneurysm cases.
  • Analysis of surgical outcomes including mortality, amputations, and symptom recurrence.
  • Follow-up period of three years.

Main Results:

  • 16 cases underwent surgical treatment with zero mortality.
  • 2 amputations and 4 cases of intermittent claudication were observed.

  • 10 patients remained asymptomatic with palpable distal pulses post-intervention.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention for popliteal aneurysms is safe and effective, with no mortality in this series.
    • An interventionist approach is supported for elderly, asymptomatic patients, utilizing endovascular techniques and saphenous vein grafts.
