Abstract:
A case of popliteal venous aneurysm in a 69-year-old male is presented. Although rare these aneurysms are potential sources of thromboembolism indicated by the fact that they are most often discovered in patients with a history of recurrent pulmonary embolism. The aneurysm was successfully treated by simple surgical resection and a short course of oral anticoagulants.
