    Popliteal artery aneurysms require clinical awareness, though imaging aids diagnosis. Vascular surgery preserved limbs in some cases, while others needed amputation, but elective surgery on asymptomatic limbs yielded good results.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Imaging
    • Vascular Diseases

    Background:

    • Atherosclerotic aneurysms of the popliteal artery are a significant vascular condition.
    • Bilateral involvement is common, affecting 13 out of 14 patients in this cohort.
    • Management decisions are influenced by the availability of advanced diagnostic tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the management of atherosclerotic popliteal artery aneurysms.
    • To assess the effectiveness of reconstructive vascular surgery versus amputation.
    • To determine the outcomes of elective arterial surgery on asymptomatic contralateral limbs.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized ultrasound, xerography, and isotope angiography for diagnosis.
    • Clinical examination of the ischemic lower limb remained crucial.

  • Surgical interventions included reconstructive vascular surgery and amputation.

    • Main Results:

    • Reconstructive surgery preserved the presenting leg in 5 cases.
    • Amputation was necessary in 6 cases.
    • Elective arterial surgery on asymptomatic contralateral legs in 7 cases resulted in good outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Diagnostic imaging confirms suspected popliteal artery aneurysms but does not replace clinical assessment.
    • An active surgical approach, including elective procedures on asymptomatic contralateral limbs, is recommended for favorable outcomes.
