Aim: To evaluate the experience in the treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm with stentgraft.

Method: From June 2011 to October 2014, we were treated 18 aneurysms of the popliteal artery in 14 patients using the stentgraft at our department. There were 13 men and one woman aged from 50 to 90 years. The mean age was 70 years. We treated three aneurysms with a diameter of less than 2 cm, 12 aneurysms 2-5 cm in diameter and 3 aneurysms with a diameter greater than 5 cm.

Results: Patients were followed-up 2-35 months, mean follow-up was 13.4 months. The technical success rate was 100%. Primary patency was 78%, secondary patency was 94%. According to Kaplan-Maier analysis the probability of primary patency at 6 and 12 months after stentgraft implantation was 75.8 % (95% CI: 54.6 to 97.0%), the probability of secondary patency at 6 and 12 months was 94.4% (95% CI: 83,8-100%).

Conclusion: Endovascular treatment with stentgraft is a possible alternative of surgical treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm. Endovascular treatment is simple, safe, and effective.
