摘要
Background: Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are the most common peripheral aneurysm and are recognized as 'the silent killer of the leg circulation'. The timing and type of interventions used in their treatment is still controversial. This review examines the published data on the natural history, epidemiology, clinical presentation and management options available. The aim of this study is to try and reach a consensus with regards to the best management of PAA. Method: A systematic review of data in the English published works since 1980. Results: The authors include 53 studies containing 2854 patients with 4291 PAA. Most published data involves retrospective studies and personal experience, with one multicentre study. No randomized controlled studies exist regarding the management of PAA. Conclusions: 1. Although most PAA are of atherosclerotic origin in old patients, trauma, infection and family history are the main causes in young patients. 2. Great vigilance is needed for diagnosis as only approximately five patients are seen each year by a major vascular centre. There is no place for screening programmes to detect PAA. 3. Approximately 45% of patients are asymptomatic at the time of initial diagnosis. Aortic aneurysms are found in 40% and bilateral PAA in 50% of patients. More than 95% of patients are men with a mean age of 65 years and 45% have hypertension. 4. Surgical reconstruction is recommended for all symptomatic and asymptomatic aneurysms larger than 2 cm. Five-year graft patency rates after surgical repair range from 30 to 97%, with 5-year limb salvage ranging from 70 to 98%. Patient survival rates at 5 and 10 years are 75 and 46%, respectively. 5. If carried out carefully, intra-arterial thrombolysis can safely prepare patients presenting with acute ischaemia from occluded PAA, for surgical revascularization to restore distal run-off. 6. Endovascular repair of a PAA is a feasible option, although little evidence is yet available. 7. Lifelong, careful patient surveillance is essential to detect and treat new aneurysms at other sites.
