چکیده
Methods A 67-year-old woman presented to our clinic with pain at the back of bilateral knee joints. Physical examination showed manually palpable distal arterial pulses and a pulsatile mass at bilateral popliteal fossae. Arterial Doppler ultrasonography revealed bilateral popliteal arterial aneurysms. Multislice computerized tomography showed an aneurysm starting from distal femoral artery and involving entire popliteal artery at the left side and aneurysmal dilatation in both popliteal artery and proximal segment of the anterior tibial artery at the right side. Screening tests failed to show any additional aneurysms at other sites.

متن کاملCase report: pseudoaneurysm of popliteal artery complicating a total knee replacement: a successful percutaneous endovascular treatment.
A 71-year-old woman underwent a total right knee replacement for a severe arthritis. Eight days after the operation, she presented an oedema of the right leg. Moreover, the foot remained well perfused with palpable pedal pulse. A colour duplex examination was performed for the suspicion of a phlebitis. There was no venous thrombosis, but the popliteal vein was collapsed by a 55×40 mm false aneu...
