SURGICAL AND ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT IN THE ASSOCIATION OF BILATERAL POPLITEAL ANEURYSM AND ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM

Abstract

The association of popliteal aneurysms (PAs) with other aneurysms of the arterial tree is very frequent. Although PAs are an infrequent entity, the popliteal artery is the second most frequent location of arterial aneurysms. In this paper we present the case of a patient with right lower limb ischemia as a result of a thrombosed popliteal aneurysm associated to contralateral popliteal aneurysm and aortic aneurysm. The case was resolved with a combination of surgical revascularization in the lower limbs and EVAR.
