Abstract:Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the deformations of the femoropopliteal (FP) arterial segment due to knee flexion in patients suffering from popliteal aneurysm before and after endovascular treatment (ET). Design and methods: Nine patients were prospectively evaluated. Pre-operative and post-operative computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans were performed on the leg of each patient in both a flexed and extended knee position. The images were employed to reconstruct the FP segment through se… Show more
