The nonarterial origin of cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery in two patients.
Two patients with compression of a popliteal artery caused by periarticular cystic lesions of the knee joint are described. Both gave the usual history of complete resolution of intermittent claudication for a period of months, followed by recurrence. The authors feel that this is a significant historical feature in this condition.
