Popliteal artery aneurysms and popliteal phymas.
For the differential diagnosis of popliteal phymas, popliteal artery aneurysms are evaluated. They are frequent among peripheral aneurysms. However, diagnosis is difficult in some patients because clinical symptoms vary. We report 2 patients who consulted our hospital for popliteal phymas. In these patients, surgery was performed via a posterior approach. In 1 patient, reconstruction was conduc...
متن کاملPopliteal artery aneurysms: a review.
Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are the most common form of peripheral arterial aneurysms. The popliteal artery is the continuation of the femoral artery and represents the major source of blood to the leg. Thrombus formation as a result of PAA may reduce blood flow, leading to limb-threatening ischemia and potential limb amputation. Popliteal artery aneurysms are predominantly seen in males ...
متن کاملThrombosed Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm as Herald of Tibial Osteochondroma
BACKGROUND Osteochondroma is the most common non-malignant tumour of bone, accounting for approximately one third of benign lesions in the skeleton. They often develop around the knee in the distal femur and in the proximal tibia and fibula. They present as a painless slow growing mass during adolescence and have been reported to cause damage to adjacent structures such as blood vessels; arteri...
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of popliteal artery aneurysms.
OBJECTIVE To present the results of the endovascular treatment of popliteal artery aneurysms. METHODS From April 1999 to January 2002, 11 patients, aged 40-94 years, with 12 popliteal aneurysms were treated. Nine (75%) underwent an endoluminal repair, of whom three were done emergently due to an aneurysm rupture. Aneurysm diameter was 28-105 (mean 69) mm. A Hemobahn stent graft was inserted i...
متن کاملExpansion rates of asymptomatic popliteal artery aneurysms.
OBJECTIVES In the absence of symptoms the decision to operate on popliteal artery aneurysms (PA) is often made on PA diameter. Little information exists on growth rate and therefore optimum scanning intervals. The aim of this paper is to define growth rate of PA managed conservatively. METHODS A prospective study of patients with asymptomatic PA was carried out. Patients were invited for ultr...
