Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Popliteal artery aneurysms represent a common pathology that vascular surgeons are often confronted with. However, several issues remain incompletely understood, including indications for intervention and optimal methods of treatment. In the following article, our discussants debate the appropriate management of small popliteal artery aneurysms. Further complicating this discussion is the unclear relationship between popliteal artery aneurysm diameter and subsequent complications. Whereas with abdominal aortic aneurysms diameter is linked to rupture risk, it is less clear with popliteal artery aneurysms where complications are more likely to include thrombosis, embolization, and compression whether aneurysm diameter is accurately predictive. Perhaps other anatomic features should be included in our management algorithms? Regardless, our debaters will try to convince us whether small popliteal artery aneurysms warrant repair or not. |
