[Surgical indications in popliteal aneurysm].

P Stirnemann, S Schwery

    Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift (1946)
    |May 2, 1986

    Summary

    Surgical treatment for popliteal aneurysms is recommended upon diagnosis. Prompt intervention reduces amputation risk, especially in emergency cases involving acute critical ischemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Aneurysm Management
    • Arterial Diseases

    Context:

    • Popliteal aneurysms pose significant risks, including thrombosis and embolism.
    • Emergency surgical intervention is often required for acute critical ischemia or rupture.
    • Outcomes for emergency surgery are less favorable than for elective procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment for popliteal aneurysms.
    • To compare the results of emergency versus elective surgical interventions.
    • To determine the optimal timing for surgical correction of popliteal aneurysms.

    Summary:

    • A total of 45 popliteal aneurysms were surgically treated in 35 patients.
    • Emergency surgery (18 cases) for acute critical ischemia or rupture resulted in five major amputations.
    • Elective surgery (27 cases) led to only one leg amputation, highlighting better outcomes.

    Impact:

    • Early surgical correction of popliteal aneurysms is crucial for limb salvage.
    • Timely intervention can significantly reduce the incidence of major amputations.
    • Findings support a proactive surgical approach to popliteal aneurysms upon diagnosis.
