Medical treatment of postoperative complications of popliteal artery aneurysm surgery

Abstract

Popliteal artery aneurysms are the most common peripheral artery aneurysms, although they are rarely seen. These aneurysms can be treated by surgical and endovascular methods. Detection of the type of popliteal artery aneurysm by preoperative imaging methods is the most important step to determine the appropriate treatment method for the individual patient. Patient-specific treatment strategy reduces postoperative complications and recurrent interventions. In this article, we present a case who underwent surgery for a popliteal artery aneurysm eight months ago and developed critical leg ischemia. [Turk J Vasc Surg 2020; 29(1.000): 50-2]
