Endovascular Treatment of Popliteal Artery Aneurism and Occlusive Arterial Disease-A case Report

Abstract

Paulo Eduardo Ocke Reis and Leonardo Roever

There is no level A evidence to determine open repair (OR) or endovascular repair (ER) intervention to treat popliteal artery aneurisms. This article addresses a case of endovascular treatment of both popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) and below knee peripheral atherosclerotic occlusive disease (PAD) in which we opted for endovascular treatment with satisfactory outcome, as well as a discussion about indications and expected results. We concluded that endovascular treatment is effective in treating this for it resolves the symptoms by recanalization of the artery system with little risks during the procedure and with short hospital stay.
