“…The popliteal artery is a direct continuation of the superficial femoral artery as it emerges from the adductor hiatus. 2 It passes obliquely downward and outward behind the knee joint within the popliteal space to the lower border of the popliteus muscle. 3 The ATA arises from the popliteal artery, usually before the tibioperoneal trunk bifurcates into the PTA and the peroneal artery.…”

“…3 The ATA arises from the popliteal artery, usually before the tibioperoneal trunk bifurcates into the PTA and the peroneal artery. 2 The popliteal artery differs from other lower limb arteries in that it is exposed to biomechanical forces as a result of repetitive flexion of the knee. 4…”

“…5 Specifically for the popliteal artery, this refers to a focal dilation that is 1.5 times larger than the normal diameter, or if the diameter exceeds 1.5 cm. 2 A PAA may be saccular or fusiform in shape, and the presence of thrombus in the lumen increases the risks of symptoms and possibly the rate of expansion of the aneurysm. 6,7 The PAAs are the most common type of peripheral artery aneurysms, 7,8 and they account for approximately 70% of all peripheral artery aneurysms.…”

“Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) account for approximately 70% of all peripheral artery aneurysms. Despite the exact prevalence of PAAs being unknown, it is thought to be present in about 1% of the elderly male population. Acute thrombus in a PAA can increase the risk of lower limb ischemia and amputation. We present a case documenting an incidental finding of an asymptomatic “floating” or pedunculated thrombus within a left PAA on duplex ultrasound. This thrombus resolved following a period of anticoagulation with intravenous Heparin followed by oral administration of apixaban.

“…5 The lack of established definitions has been troublesome and there has been a lack of societal guidelines focusing on this small cohort of patients with popliteal artery aneurysms. Recently the SVS developed such guidelines which will hopefully contribute with more standardization in this care trajectory 6 . The standard diameter of a normal popliteal artery is 7 mm in men 7 .…”

“…Recently the SVS developed such guidelines which will hopefully contribute with more standardization in this care trajectory. 6 PAA can be excluded by an open or endovascular approach, Antonello et al 18 have shown that endovascular repair for PAA was a safe treatment strategy and comparable to open surgery, but this has been contradicted by others 21 . Some ongoing debate regarding the pros and cons with open vs endovascular treatment can be found 22,23 .…”
