          Abstract

          Paciente relatava história aguda de dor e edema em membro inferior direito há 5 dias, e a semiologia caracterizava pulsos poplíteos amplos e perfusão distal satisfatória. Exames laboratoriais mostraram insuficiência renal, e o exame de ultra-som duplex evidenciou um aneurisma de artéria poplítea à direita roto, com formação de pseudo-aneurisma e um aneurisma de artéria poplítea à esquerda. O paciente foi submetido à exploração cirúrgica por via de acesso posterior, sendo evidenciado pseudo-aneurisma secundário a aneurisma de artéria poplítea roto e realizada endoaneurismorrafia com interposição de veia. A evolução pós-operatória foi boa. A ruptura de um aneurisma de artéria poplítea é uma complicação rara, e apenas um relato de formação espontânea de pseudo-aneurisma foi encontrado na literatura.

          Translated abstract

          The patient presented with a 5-day history of acute pain and swelling in the right lower limb. On physical examination, wide popliteal pulses and satisfactory distal perfusion were observed. The laboratory work-up showed renal failure and the duplex ultrasound examination was suggestive of a ruptured right popliteal artery aneurysm with pseudoaneurysm formation and a left popliteal artery aneurysm. The patient underwent urgent surgery through a posterior popliteal approach. A ruptured aneurysm with pseudoaneurysm formation was found and repaired by endoaneurysmorrhaphy with interposition of a short saphenous vein segment. The postoperative period was unremarkable. Rupture of a popliteal artery aneurysm is a rare complication: a single report of spontaneous popliteal pseudoaneurysm was found in the literature.

          Atherosclerotic popliteal aneurysm.

          A popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) has been described as a 'sinister harbinger of sudden catastrophe'. This review seeks to provide data regarding the epidemiological aspects, natural history, clinical presentation and results of treatment to help clinicians make appropriate decisions. A systematic review of data in the English language literature published since 1980. The authors include 29 studies containing 1673 patients with 2445 PAAs. No controlled trials exist regarding the management of PAAs. (1) At most, only four or five patients are seen each year by a major vascular centre; (2) aortic aneurysms are found in 37 per cent and bilateral PAAs in 50 per cent of patients; (3) more than 95 per cent of patients are men with a mean age of 65 years and 45 per cent have hypertension; (4) approximately one-third of patients are asymptomatic at the time of initial diagnosis; (5) the risk of ischaemic complications after conservative follow-up varies from 8 to 100 per cent (mean 36 per cent), depending on the selection of patients and duration of follow-up; (6) elective surgical reconstruction is recommended for all asymptomatic aneurysms; (7) 5-year graft patency rates after surgical repair range from 29 to 100 per cent, with 5-year limb salvage ranging from 75 to 98 per cent; (8) patient survival rates at 5 and 10 years are 70 and 44 per cent respectively; (9) lifelong, careful patient surveillance is essential to detect and treat new aneurysms at other sites.

            Popliteal artery aneurysms: Current management and outcome

            Thrombosis of popliteal artery aneurysms can produce limb-threatening ischemia. In this setting we have found preoperative thrombolytic therapy to be beneficial.

              Popliteal artery aneurysms. Long-term follow-up of aneurysmal disease and results of surgical treatment.

              The natural history of aneurysmal disease was analyzed in 50 patients who were treated for 71 popliteal aneurysms. No patients were lost to follow-up (mean, 5.0 years). Initially, 25 popliteal aneurysms (25/71; 35%) were treated nonsurgically, and 46 (46/71; 65%) were treated surgically. Complications developed in 12 of the 21 asymptomatic popliteal aneurysms (57%) and in 2 of the 4 symptomatic popliteal aneurysms (50%), which were treated nonsurgically. The probability of developing complications increased with time to 74% within 5 years. When reconstruction of a popliteal aneurysm was performed, graft patency and foot salvage were 64% and 95% at 10 years, respectively. Particularly acute arterial thromboembolism was a severe presenting complication. Another important finding was the development of 23 arteriosclerotic aneurysms at other locations during follow-up in 16 patients (32%). The probability of developing these new aneurysms increased to 49% 10 years after repair of the initial popliteal aneurysm. The presence of multiple isolated aneurysms at the initial examination was the most significant risk factor limiting the survival of these patients. Consequently patients at risk could be identified early. This study confirms the limb-threatening potential of popliteal aneurysms when left untreated. Therefore prophylactic reconstructive surgery should be undertaken. Moreover, this study demonstrates that patients with a popliteal artery aneurysm have an increased risk of new aneurysm formation, both in the popliteal artery and at other locations. Therefore these patients should be followed and, in the event that new aneurysms develop, should be considered for elective reconstructive surgery to prevent limb-threatening or life-endangering complications.
