Summary

Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are serious vascular conditions. Elective surgical repair is recommended for asymptomatic PAAs to prevent complications, with good long-term outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Epidemiology
  • Clinical Decision-Making

Background:

  • Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Understanding PAA epidemiology and natural history is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review epidemiological data, natural history, clinical presentation, and treatment outcomes for PAAs.
  • To aid clinicians in making informed decisions regarding PAA management.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of English-language literature published since 1980.
  • Analysis of data from 29 studies encompassing 1673 patients with 2445 PAAs.

Main Results:

  • No controlled trials exist for PAA management.
  • PAAs predominantly affect men (95%) aged around 65, with hypertension common (45%).
  • Ischemic complications risk after conservative follow-up is high (mean 36%).

Conclusions:

  • Elective surgical reconstruction is advised for all asymptomatic PAAs.
  • Surgical repair offers variable but acceptable graft patency (29-100%) and limb salvage (75-98%).
  • Lifelong surveillance is essential for detecting new aneurysms.
