title: Mycotic Aneurysm of the Popliteal Artery Secondary to Enterococcus Endo-carditis : a Case Report.
abstract: A mycotic popliteal aneurysm (MAAP) is a very rare condition [1]. We describe a 87-year-old Caucasian male who presented with a MAAP of the right leg due to an enterococcus mitral valve endocarditis. The aneurysm was excised and a reversed vein graft was interposed between the normal popliteal artery and the posterior tibial artery. A second vein graft was interposed between the first graft and the anterior tibial artery.
