Abstract:
Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery is an uncommon disorder. 58-year-old male complained of left intermittent calf claudication and couldn't sit straight. He preferred playing baseball and jogging. Digital subtraction angiograms revealed a smooth extrinsic compression on the proximal left popliteal artery. Surgical procedure was performed with posterior approach. The left popliteal artery was confirmed to be surrounded by two adventitial cysts at operation. After the evacuation and removal of these cystic wall, peripheral popliteal artery pulse was improved. Postoperative course was smooth and calf claudication was completely disappeared, post operative angiogram showed no stenosis. Histological examination of the resected specimen showed degenerated elastic fiber and inflammatory granulation. We have found 40 cases previously reported in Japan and the present case was 2nd one in our institute.
