title: [Surgical treatment of symptomatic aneurysm of popliteal artery].
abstract: The results of treatment of 17 patients, suffering symptomatic aneurysm of popliteal artery (APA) were analyzed. According to angiographic data, the APA thrombosis was revealed in 6 patients, and according to ultrasonographic Doppler scanning data the APA rupture with hematoma in adjacent tissues was diagnosed in 5 patients. The tactics of treatment was established in accordance with the distal blood flow character: the conservative therapy was conducted in the presence of APA up to 40 mm in diameter in condition of the artery passability preservation and poor distal blood flow--in 6 observation operative treatment was conducted in the presence of satisfactory distal blood flow--in 4, according to urgent indications due to critical ischemia--in 2, and for the aneurysm rupture--in 5. Operative treatment of symptomatic APA showed ineffective in presence of thrombotic complications in 23.1% patients. In conservative and surgical treatment of APA, complicated by an acute thrombosis, the poor results (the lower extremity amputation) were noted in 33.3% patients.
