Original language description
Abstract Background. It is better to treat popliteal aneurysms as elective operations when their diameter is above 2 cm ? Materials and Methods. Between 1985 and 2004, 76 operations for popliteal artery aneurysm were performed in 67 patients in the last20 years. Results. 58 operations were elective (76.32 %) and 18 emergency [13 procedures and 5 urgent amputations] (23.68 %). For reconstruction, autologous saphenous vein was used in 53 cases (69.74 %), vascular prosthesis in 15 cases (19.74%), and a cryopreserved vein allograft in 3 cases (3.95 %). In 5 cases (6.58 %), amputation for advanced lower limb ischemia was performed without arterial reconstruction. In our patient group there were 62 men (92.53 %) and 5 women (7.47 %). Patient age ranged from49 to 80 years, with a mean age of 69 years.
