Transfemoral endoluminal stented graft repair of a popliteal artery aneurysm

Abstract: This report describes the use of an endoluminally placed stented graft to repair a large (2.6 by 2.6 by 15 cm) popliteal aneurysm in a 63-year-old man with advanced heart disease. Two balloon-expandable stents were attached to a 6 mm polytetrafluoroethylene graft, which was inserted with the patient receiving local anesthetic through a proximal superficial femoral artery arteriotomy. Repeat arteriography and duplex ultrasonography performed up to 3 months after the procedure documented graft and distal artery … Show more

“…True aneurysms have historically been treated surgically with either exclusion of the aneurysm and subsequent arterial bypass or resection of the aneurysmal segment with an interposition bypass. Open surgical repair with general or regional anaesthesia ay poses a high risk for these patients and as such endoluminal stent grafting has become an alternative to surgical treatment [9,[22][23][24].…”

“…Ipak posljednji izvještaji u literaturi navode da poslije uspješne ugradnje premosnice i ligature aneurizme češće dolazi do pojave problema nego što se prije mislilo. Pojava protoka krvi kroz aneurizmu koja je prethodno isključena iz cirkulacije opisana je u nekim studijama u čak i do jedne trećine slučajeva 1, [23][24][25] . Ako se i pojavi protok kroz aneurizmu, on uglavnom nije toliko snažan i voluman te se klinički teško zamjećuje.…”
