LOPES, José Almeida; BRANDAO, Daniel  and  MANSILHA, Armando. Hybrid approach of aneurysmal disease : case report. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2011, vol.7, n.4, pp.219-223. ISSN 1646-706X.

The popliteal and femoral aneurysms are the most prevalent peripheral artery aneurysms. The authors present a case report of a 61 years-old male patient, in a context of marked swelling of the right lower limb. A duplex ultrasonography was performed, which diagnosed the presence of a right popliteal phlebothrombosis subsequent to compression caused by a large popliteal aneurysm. Given the lack of adequate venous conduit, it was decided to perform an endovascular procedure to exclude the right popliteal aneurysm with a covered stent-graft. Subsequently classic correction of the left common femoral artery aneurysm was made, by placing an interposition graft. This case demonstrates the different possible approaches (endovascular and classical) to treat the same pathological entity, in different location and circumstances, in the same patient.

Keywords : Popliteal Artery Aneurysm; Femoral Artery Aneurysm; Hybrid Approach.
