title: Location and incidence rate of anastomotic aneurysms--own clinical material and literature review.
abstract: Anastomotic aneurysms occurs at various levels of arterial system. Determining their location and incidence rate required investigation of large patient clinical material.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the years 1989-2010 in local centre 230 anastomotic aneurysms were operated in 180 patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For 187 (81.3%) patients anastomotic aneurysms were localised in the groin, while for remaining 43 (18.7%) they occurred in other localisations. In aortic arch branch they occurred four times (1.7), in descending aorta--three times (1.3%), in abdominal aorta--14 (6.1%) and in iliac arteries--6 (2.6%). While for anastomosis with popliteal artery they were diagnosed in 16 (7%) patients. Own clinical material was compared with literature data.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Anastomotic aneurysms in over 80% of cases occur in the groin, remaining percentage corresponds to other localisations.
