Abstract:
Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are largely attributed to arteriosclerotic disease processes, with a rare aetiology of infective and traumatic origin. This disease may be complicated by acute limb ischaemia, which could result in limb loss. Therefore, early management of symptomatic aneurysms, or asymptomatic aneurysms > 2 cm, is suggested. We present a unique case of PAA secondary to a fractured femoropopliteal stent and discuss ongoing challenges toward the management of femoropopliteal disease, along with treatments for PAA.
