  • Title: [Cystic degeneration of the popliteal artery: Report of one case].
    Author: Hasbún S, Tapia R, Avendaño G, Lahsen JP, Sánchez González C.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 2015 Jan; 143(1):112-5. PubMed ID: 25860277.
    Abstract:
    Cystic degeneration of the popliteal artery is an uncommon cause of intermittent claudication. We report a 52 years old male consulting for intermittent claudication referred to the calf. The angiography showed a 93% stenosis in segment of 45 mm length of the left popliteal artery with a smooth surface, suggesting an extrinsic compression. A CT angiography of the lower limb suggested the presence of a cystic degeneration. The patient was operated and the middle third of the popliteal artery was excised. The pathological study of the surgical piece was informed as artery media cystic degeneration.
