[Aneurysms of the popliteal artery. Our clinical and therapeutic contribution].
The authors report their experience in 10 cases of popliteal artery aneurysms. By the data of the literature the popliteal artery is the second place most affected by aneurysmatic injuries, immediately after the abdominal aorta. The authors think that the optimal treatment is the by-pass with the autologous vein graft versus all other types of prostheses.
