Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are rare, and usually affect men over 60 years of age with established cardiovascular disease due to atherosclerosis. They can also be congenital or can occur due to trauma, mycotic aneurysm, popliteal entrapment or inflammatory arteritis. This is a case of a 95 year old male, with history of recent subdural hematoma, who presented with acute onset right lower limb pain and edema. He was found to have right PAA with thrombosis which was throwing cutaneous microemboli to the toes. He underwent open aneurysm repair with Dacron graft and thrombectomy and improved.

<p><em>INTRODUCCIÓN:</em> El aneurisma de la arteria poplítea (AAP) es la dilatación localizada e irreversible de las paredes de la Arteria Poplítea. Es patología poco frecuente, constituye la segunda ubicación más frecuente de aneurismas verdaderos luego de los aórticos, y la primera ubicación dentro de los aneurismas periféricos. Se caracteriza por afectar a principalmente a hombres a una edad promedio de 65 años, cuyas manifestaciones son principalmente de origen isquémico, acabando en amputación del miembro inferior en una frecuencia que oscila según los casos entre un 7 y un 20 por ciento.

Aim of the study. Aim of the study was to analyze the outcomes of surgical treatment of acute thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment arteries with various etiological factors of its occurrence. The analysis of the surgical treatment of 40 patients with acute thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment arteries was carried out for the period from 2014 to 2020. Depending on the pathogenesis of acute thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment arteries, the patients were divided into three groups: Group 1 – 17 (42.5%) patients with acute arterial thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment caused by embolism or thrombosis in the background of stenotic-occlusive diseases of the lower extremitiesvessels; Group 2 – 15 (37.5%) patients with acute arterial thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment in the background of thromboangiitisobliterans of the lower extremities (Buerger's disease); Group 3 – 8 (20%) patients with acute arterial thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment in the background of popliteal artery aneurysm. During the follow-up period of 2 months, the incidence of rethrombosis and amputation of the lower limb in the patients of Group A was 5.9% and 5.9%, respectively. In Group B, the incidence of rethrombosis and amputation of the lower limb was 73.3% and 40.0%, respectively. In group C, the incidence of rethrombosis and amputation of the lower limb was 12.5% and 12.5%, respectively. Conclusions. In patients with acute arterial thrombosis of the popliteal-tibial segment in the background of embolism or stenotic-occlusive diseases, combined endovascular or hybrid surgical interventions showed better results compared to open thrombectomy, in which rethrombosis was diagnosed in 14.3% of cases. In patients with thromboangiitis obliterans of the lower extremities, regional catheter-directed thrombolysis showed better (p=0,04) results compared to open thrombectomy and endovascular interventions, in which rethrombosis was diagnosed in 90% and 100% of cases, respectively. In patients with popliteal artery aneurysm, open surgical interventions or regional catheter-directed thrombolysis showed better results compared to endovascular interventions, in which rethrombosis was diagnosed in 50% of cases.
