Abstract
A 27-year experience with 252 popliteal artery aneurysms in 167 patients is reviewed. Long-term results with respect to graft patency and limb salvage rates are analyzed. The results emphasize the importance of early surgical intervention and demonstrate the superiority of autologous saphenous vein over other graft materials.
