Endovascular repair is an established modality of treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms. It is therefore reasonable to expect its application to other less common aneurysmal conditions, including isolated iliac and popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA). There are, however, essential differences between aortic aneurysms and peripheral aneurysms: smaller arterial caliber, mobility of the arterial segment, associated occlusive disease, and devices that have not been specifically designed for peripheral applications. Due to these differences, results obtained in abdominal aortic aneurysms cannot be extrapolated to peripheral aneurysms. The attraction of the endovascular repair for PAA is its minimally invasive nature. The literature, however, provides only case reports, case series and small cohorts, and one small randomized, controlled trial. A cumulative summary of these studies provides the clinician with information upon which to base the choice of treatment on a specific patient. Endovascular repair for PAA with suitable anatomy and good run-off can be considered safe, and medium term results appear comparable with those of open repair.

“…Lovegrove et al in a recent meta-analysis reported that endovascular repair of PAAs offers similar medium-term benefits but higher rates of early graft thrombosis and early interventions compared to open repair [14]. It is clear that although different case series [15, 16] and reports suggest the utility and technical success of endoluminal approach, long-term patency rates of endovascular repair of PAAs are still awaited. In our patient, there was an adequate landing zone for the graft in the PA, while simultaneously distal runoff was uncompromised.…”

The development of multiple aneurysms in different segments of the arterial tree requiring treatment is a challenge for the vascular surgeon as their management often demands more than one surgical procedure. We report a case of a 71-year-old male suffering from multiple aneurysms in four different segments of the arterial tree in combination with disabling claudication of his left leg. The patient was managed in a single session with a combination of classic open surgical and endovascular techniques in order to treat his aneurysms and revascularize his leg. This case illustrates the prospect to combine classic open surgical and endovascular techniques for the optimal management of multileveled arterial pathology. Combined therapy simplifies management and allows the one-stage treatment of these patients, while minimizing the overall operative risk.

“…Early outcomes of endovascular treatment have been encouraging, more so for patients considered high risk for open surgery. 8,9 A recent Cochrane review has demonstrated the existence of equipoise between endovascular and open methods in the management of asymptomatic PAAs. 10 Rupture of a PAA is rare but can have severe consequences.…”

Background Rupture is a recognised complication of ruptured popliteal artery aneurysms that requires emergency intervention. There is little evidence collating the presentation, intervention and outcomes of ruptured popliteal artery aneurysms. Objective The primary aim of this study was to deduce the sequelae following different management modalities of ruptured popliteal artery aneurysm. Methods We performed a systematic review of all available cases reports of ruptured popliteal artery aneurysms in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol. Results We identified 48 cases taken from 35 case reports and series. Men were more commonly affected ( n = 96%), and mean age was 71 years. Acute limb ischemia was the commonest presentation (32%) whilst incidental deep vein thrombosis was found in 43% of patients. The mean aneurysm size was 8.2 cm (range, 2.7 to 13.3 cm). Management consisted of open surgery (58%), endovascular treatment (25%) and ‘other’ treatment (evacuation of haematoma, ligation of aneurysm, amputation or palliation) (17%). The perioperative mortality rate in the whole cohort was 13%. Perioperative mortality was similar between comparing the open and endovascular surgery groups. Re-intervention rate amongst endovascular patients was 25% over an average follow-up period of 14 months. There was one re-intervention in the re-constructive group (3%) over a follow-up period of 17 months and none in the ‘other’ group. Conclusion Popliteal artery aneurysm rupture is a serious complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Open surgical reconstruction and endovascular repair are both feasible for the treatment of ruptured popliteal artery aneurysms; however, open surgery is less likely to require further re-intervention.
