Abstract:

Popliteal venous aneurysm (PVA) is a rare pathological condition likely to lead to the development of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism. This article was designed to present a brief overview of the literature concerning the diagnostics and surgical treatment of venous aneurysms in the popliteal region. In addition, two clinical observations of the successful surgical intervention for the management of this condition are reported. It was shown that early diagnostics and the timely fashioned surgical treatment tangential resection of the vein aneurysm with lateral venorrhaphy) make it possible to prevent the development of the complications. It is concluded that the operative repair of PVA can be recommended as a safe method for the management of this condition in selected patients presenting with this pathology.
