Abstract:
A 56-year-old male patient presented with intermittent claudication due to cystic adventitial degeneration of the popliteal artery. In addition independent symptomatic arteriosclerotic alterations of several arteries distal and proximal of the popliteal artery were detected. The etiologic, diagnostic and differential-diagnostic aspects in general and the therapeutic implications of this uncommon case are discussed.
