A popliteal artery aneurysm is a bulging (aneurysm) of the popliteal artery. A PAA is diagnosed when a focal dilation greater than 50% of the normal vessel diameter is found (the normal diameter of a popliteal artery is 0.7-1.1 cm). PAAs are the most common aneurysm of peripheral vasculature, accounting for 85% of all cases. PAAs are bilateral in some 50% of cases, and are often (40-50%) associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Popliteal aneurysms are rarely symptomatic; they are typically discovered during routine physical examinations. The cause of these aneurysms is unknown, but they are more common in older people and men and occur in both legs about 50% of the time. (en) |
