    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Popliteal aneurysms can lead to limb amputation, especially with complications. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial to improve outcomes and avoid severe consequences like amputation.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Popliteal aneurysms are common but lack standardized treatment protocols.
    • Large case series and uniform treatment methods are scarce in existing literature.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review a series of 52 popliteal aneurysms to analyze outcomes and identify factors influencing treatment success.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention for popliteal aneurysms.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 52 cases of popliteal aneurysms.
    • Analysis of outcomes based on presentation, presence of thromboembolic complications, and timing of surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Amputation rate was 28% when thromboembolic complications occurred.

  • 5% amputation rate was observed in patent aneurysms at presentation.
  • Delayed diagnosis and treatment were primary causes of unsatisfactory outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elderly males are particularly susceptible to popliteal aneurysms.
    • Acute lower limb ischemia warrants consideration for popliteal aneurysm diagnosis.
    • Recognizing varied presentations, including pain, swelling, rupture, and infection, is vital.
