Abstract:
Popliteal venous aneurysms are infrequent but should be screened for with venous ultrasound in patients with acute or chronic venous diseases because of the unpredictable high risk of thromboembolism and potential curability. Therapeutic alternatives are discussed: follow-up, anticoagulation, surgery with different techniques. To illustrate this, we report the case of a 51-year-old woman presenting pulmonary embolism and left popliteal venous aneurysm treated surgically. Anticoagulation was stopped 12 months after surgery and primary patency was maintained 40 months after surgery. In patients with thromboembolism disease, clinicians should search for popliteal venous aneurysms in order to prevent recurrent thrombosis and adapt follow-up and treatment.
