Bilateral True Aneurysms of Popliteal and Posterior Tibial Arteries
نویسنده
چکیده
Although rare, aneurysms of the infrapopliteal arteries are commonly associated with trauma. However, the combination of bilateral popliteal aneurysm with true bilateral aneurysms of the posterior tibial arteries has not been previously described. Here, as well as reviewing the relevant literature, we report the clinical and radiological aspects, and the surgical management of a 60-year-old man with both bilateral popliteal aneurysm and true bilateral aneurysms of the posterior tibial arteries.

BACKGROUND The true aneurysms of the infrapopliteal arteries are an unusual pathology with low incidence in the general population. They appear in the literature only as isolated case reports. True aneurysms of the infrapopliteal arteries represent a surgical problem, especially when a bifurcation is involved and when the distal vessels are affected by occlusive disease. CASE REPORT A 67 year...
