About Popliteal Aneurysm

A popliteal aneurysm repair is a specialized vascular surgery procedure performed to treat a dangerous enlargement (aneurysm) of the popliteal artery, located behind the knee. This condition poses a significant risk of blood clots, limb-threatening blockages, or rupture. The primary surgical approach is open repair, which involves making an incision behind the knee to expose the aneurysm. The surgeon then replaces the weakened artery segment with a synthetic graft (bypass) or, less commonly, removes the aneurysm sac and reconstructs the artery. This procedure restores normal blood flow to the lower leg and foot, preventing serious complications like amputation. It is a critical intervention for preserving limb function and overall vascular health.

Key Highlights

Prevents life- or limb-threatening complications like rupture or acute limb ischemia.Restores normal blood flow to the lower leg and foot, alleviating symptoms like pain and coolness.Significantly reduces the risk of future blood clot formation and subsequent amputation.Performed by specialized vascular surgeons with expertise in complex arterial reconstructions.Utilizes durable synthetic grafts designed for long-term patency and function.

Who is this surgery for?

Aneurysm diameter greater than 2 cm or rapid enlargement on serial imaging.
Presence of symptoms such as knee or calf pain, pulsatile mass behind the knee, or foot/leg coolness.
Evidence of blood clots (thrombus) within the aneurysm sac on ultrasound or CT scan.
Distal embolization causing pain, discoloration, or ulceration in the toes or foot.
Asymptomatic aneurysms in patients with a history of contralateral popliteal aneurysm complications.

How to prepare

Comprehensive vascular imaging (Duplex Ultrasound, CTA, or MRA) to map the aneurysm and plan surgery.
Pre-operative cardiac and pulmonary evaluation to ensure fitness for anesthesia.
Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin) as advised by the surgeon.
Management of co-existing conditions like hypertension and diabetes to optimize surgical outcomes.
Fasting for 8-12 hours prior to the scheduled procedure time.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding, infection, or hematoma at the surgical site.
Damage to adjacent nerves, potentially causing numbness or weakness in the leg or foot.
Graft occlusion (blockage) or stenosis (narrowing), requiring further intervention.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism.
Compartment syndrome (rare but serious swelling in the leg muscles).
Wound healing problems, especially in patients with poor circulation.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for monitoring circulation, pain management, and wound care.
Early mobilization with assistance to prevent blood clots and promote healing.
Strict leg elevation when resting to reduce swelling.
Gradual resumption of walking, avoiding strenuous activity or heavy lifting for several weeks.
Regular follow-up visits for wound checks and surveillance imaging (ultrasound) to ensure graft patency.
Lifelong management of cardiovascular risk factors like smoking cessation and cholesterol control.

Typical hospital stay: 3-7 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for basic activities; 2-3 months for full recovery
