  • Title: Adventitial cyst of the popliteal artery: CT-guided percutaneous aspiration.
    Author: Wilbur AC, Spigos DG.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1986; 10(1):161-3. PubMed ID: 3944307.
    Abstract:
    Adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery is a rare condition of uncertain etiology in which a mucinous cyst forms in the wall of the popliteal artery, obstructing the lumen and producing symptoms of intermittent claudication. We report a case in which percutaneous cyst puncture guided by CT resulted in emptying of the cyst contents, with restoration of luminal patency and a normal pulse.
