Popliteal aneurysm repair is a procedure used to treat aneurysms in the popliteal artery, located behind the knee. The procedure typically involves removing the aneurysm and replacing the affected segment of the artery with a graft or synthetic material to restore normal blood flow. Popliteal aneurysms can lead to serious complications, including thrombosis, embolism, or rupture, so timely repair is critical to prevent limb ischemia and preserve leg function.
This surgery is essential for improving circulation in the affected leg and preventing potentially life-threatening complications.
