Adventitial Cysts of the Popliteal Artery

Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery: features on 3T cardiovascular magnetic resonance

“…Surgical treatment options to restore popliteal arterial flow include resection of the affected artery and interposition grafting [ 11 ], aspiration of cystic contents [ 12 ], and resectional adventitial cystotomy [ 3 ].…”

Adventitial cystic disease: A unifying hypothesis

“…Irrespective of the aetiology of this rare condition, cyst excision [60][61][62][63][64] with preservation of the artery appears to be the treatment of choice if feasible. Although percutaneous aspiration may initially be successful in reducing the mass effect, 65,66 this form of therapy appears to have the disadvantage that the cyst fluid is re-excreted by the cyst lining 67 with the passage of time.…”

Peroneal intraneural ganglia: the importance of the articular branch. A unifying theory

“…99 It is perhaps not coincidental that adventitial cysts of the popliteal vessels, another similarly, poorly understood clin-ical entity, have been shown to have connections to the knee joint. 31,46,62,90,117,129,130,145,180 In his paper on intraneural ganglia, Parkes 155 also observed two cases in which there were ganglia in the adventitia of the ulnar and radial arteries with connections to the wrist joint.…”
