[Popliteal aneurysm (therapeutic considerations)].
The authors show a case of popliteal artery aneurysm they had the opportunity to observe. In consideration of the high percentage of surgical failures; recorded in the treatment of the complicate forms, they point out the importance of precocious diagnosis. The Authors think the termino-terminal arterial anastomosis after aneurysmectomy has very limited indications.
