Popliteal Artery Aneurysm
14.1 Guidelines
14.1.1 Society forVascular Surgery
The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) clinical practice guidelines recommend [1]:
1. We recommend that patients who present with a popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) are screened for both a contralateral PAA and an AAA. (Grade of recommenda­tion 1, strong; quality of evidence B, moderate).
2. We recommend that patients with an asymptomatic PAA≥20mm in diameter should undergo repair to reduce the risk of thromboembolic complications and limb loss. (Grade of recommendation 1, strong; quality of evidence B, moderate).
For selected patients at higher clinical risk, repair can be deferred until the PAA has become ≥30 mm, especially in the absence of thrombus. (Grade of recommendation 2, weak; quality of evidence C, low).
3. We suggest that for patients with a PAA<20mm, in the presence of thrombus and clinical suspicion of embolism or imaging evidence of poor distal runoff, repair should be considered to prevent thromboembolic complications and pos­sible limb loss. (Grade of recommendation 2, weak; quality of evidence C, low).
4. For asymptomatic patients with a life expectancy of ≥5years, we suggest open PAA repair, provided that an adequate saphenous vein is present. For patients with a diminished life expectancy, if intervention is indicated, endovascular repair should be considered. (Grade of recommendation 2, weak; quality of evi­dence C, low).
5. We recommend that intervention for thrombotic and/or embolic complications of PAA be stratied by the severity of ALI at presentation. We recommend that patients with mild to moderate ALI (Rutherford grade I and IIa) and severely obstructed tibiopedal arteries undergo thrombolysis or pharmacomechanical

intervention to improve runoff status, with prompt transition to denitive PAA repair. We recommend that patients with severe ALI (Rutherford grade IIb) undergo prompt surgical or endovascular PAA repair, with the use of adjunctive surgical thromboembolectomy or pharmacomechanical intervention to maxi­mize tibiopedal outow. Nonviable limbs (Rutherford grade III) require amputa­tion. (Grade of recommendation 1, strong; quality of evidence B, moderate).
6. We recommend that patients who undergo open or endovascular PAA repair should be followed up using clinical examination, ABI [ankle-brachial index] and Doppler ultrasound (DUS) at 3, 6 and 12months during the rst postoperative year and, if stable, annually thereafter. In addition to DUS evaluation of the repair, the aneurysm sac should be evaluated for evidence of enlargement. If abnormalities are found on clinical examination, ABI or DUS, appropriate clini­cal management according to the lower extremity endovascular or open bypass guidelines should be undertaken. (Grade of recommendation 1, strong; quality of evidence B, moderate). If compressive symptoms or symptomatic aneurysm sac expansion are noted, we suggest surgical decompression of the aneurysm sac. (Grade of recommendation 1, strong; quality of evidence C, low).
7. We suggest that patients with an asymptomatic PAA who are not offered repair should be monitored annually for changes in symptoms, pulse examination, extent of thrombus, patency of outow arteries, and aneurysm diameter. (Grade of recommendation 2, weak; quality of evidence C, low).
14 Popliteal Artery Aneurysm
14.2 Results
14.2.1 Meta-Analyses andSystematic Reviews
14.2.1.1 Open Vs. Endovascular Repair
A Cochrane review assessed the effectiveness of an endovascular stent graft versus conventional open surgery for the treatment of asymptomatic PAA on primary and assisted patency rates, hospital stay, length of the procedure and local complications [2]. A single RCT with a total of 30 PAAs met the inclusion criteria. At 4years there was no clear benet from either endovascular stent graft or surgery to primary or assisted primary patency (moderate-certainty evidence). As both operating time and hospital stay were reduced in the endovascular group (moderate-certainty evidence), it may represent a viable alternative to open repair of PAA.
Leake etal. [3] evaluated all available comparative studies of open repair of PAA (OPAR) vs endovascular repair (EPAR) by meta-analysis. A total of 14 studies were identied encompassing 4880 popliteal artery aneurysm repairs (OPAR, 3915; EPAR, 1210). OPAR patients were younger and more likely to have worse tibial runoff than EPAR patients. OPAR had higher odds of wound complications (OR,
5.182; P<.001) and lower odds of thrombotic complications (OR, 0.362; P<.001). OPAR had longer length of stay (P<.001) and fewer reinterventions (P< .001).
14.2 Results
https://t.me/medicina_free
Primary patency was better for OPAR at 1 year and 3years (relative risk, 0.607 [P=.01] and 0.580 [P=.006], respectively). There was no difference in secondary patency at 1year and 3years (0.770 [P=.458] and 0.642 [P=.073], respectively). The overall literature is lacking in quality, and the need for well-controlled studies is critically important. The current treatment strategy of the authors incorporates both techniques: if patients have favorable anatomy (two-vessel runoff or more with adequate landing zones of ≥15mm of normal, non-aneurysmal artery), no available venous conduit, and high surgical morbidity risks (poor cardiopulmonary reserve), they undergo endovascular repair. Exceptions include patients with acute ischemia who need emergent revascularization or lytic therapy. All others are shifted toward OPAR.
To support the Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines, Beuschel etal. [4] con­ducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the best available evi­dence comparing the efcacy of OAR with EVAR in the treatment of PAAs, as well as the natural history of PAAs. Thirty-two original studies and 4 systematic reviews were identied. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the endovascular approach, open surgical repair was associated with higher primary patency at 1year, lower occlusion rate at 30days and fewer reinterventions, but a longer hospital stay and more wound complications. There was no statistically signicant difference in primary patency at 3years, secondary patency, mortality at the longest follow-up, mortality at 30days, or amputation. The certainty in these estimates was, in general, low. These ndings suggest that open PAA repair may be more durable than endo­vascular repair, albeit with a higher risk of complications and resource use.
Another meta-analysis [5] was based on 17 studies, incorporating 6887 PAA cases (1662 EVAR and 5225 OAR). Popliteal artery aneurysms ranged in mean diameter from 22.9 to 36.9mm. Rates of primary patency were found to be signi­cantly higher for patients treated with OAR compared to those treated with EVAR (HR=1.60; 95% condence interval [CI]: 1.12-2.30; P=.03). Operating time and length of stay were signicantly shorter for patients treated with EVAR. Patients with EVAR experienced signicantly higher rates of graft thrombosis and reinter­vention within 30days compared to OAR patients. However, no signicant differ­ences were observed between both approaches with respect to amputation rates (OR=1.01; 95% CI: 0.55-1.85; P=.98).

14.2.2 Registries
14.2.2.1 Popliteal Aneurysms withScreening Detected Abdominal
Aortic Aneurysms
Cervin et al. [6] presented data on PAA prevalence in patients with screening­detected AAA from Uppsala county. A total of 19,820 65-year-old men (84.6%) accepted the invitation to screening between 2006 and 2017. AAA was found in 173 (0.9%), and subaneurysmal aortic dilatation (25-29 mm, SAA) in 149 subjects
316

(1.1% of those screened 2006–2013, eligible for this study). In the whole cohort,
14.2% of those examined had at least one PAA of any size, 3.0% were≥15mm and
2.2% ≥ 20 mm. There was no difference in PAA prevalence between AAA and SAA: 15.9% vs. 12.2% (p=.48). There was no difference in aortic diameter in those with or without PAA (p=.46), but there were signicant correlations with common iliac artery (p<.001), common femoral artery (p<.001), and supercial femoral artery (p<.001) diameters. A high prevalence of PAA among subjects with screen­ing detected AAA and SAA was found. PAA was not correlated with the aortic diameter in this cohort, where all had dilated aortas, while correlations with periph­eral and iliac artery diameters were identied.
14.2.2.2 Vascunet Registry
Vascunet is an international collaboration of vascular registries. During 2012–2018, data from 10,764 PAA repairs were included [7]. The incidence was 10.4 cases/mil­lion inhabitants/year (2.4-19.3). The mean age was 71.3years (66.8-75.3). Most patients, 93.3%, were men and 40.0% were active smokers. The operations were elective in 73.2% (60.0%-85.7%). The mean pre-operative PAA diameter was
32.1mm (27.3-38.3 mm). Open surgery dominated in both elective (79.5%) and acute (83.2%) cases. A medial surgical approach was used in 77.7%, and posterior in 22.3%. Vein grafts were used in 63.8%. Early amputation and death were higher after acute presentation than after elective surgery (5.0% vs. 0.7%; 1.9% vs. 0.5%). This pattern remained 1year after surgery (8.5% vs. 1.0%; 6.1% vs. 1.4%). Elective open compared with endovascular surgery had similar 1 year amputation rates (1.2% vs. 0.2%; p=.095) but superior patency (84.0% vs. 78.4%; p=.005). Veins had higher patency and lower amputation rates, at 1year compared with synthetic grafts (86.8% vs. 72.3%; 1.8% vs. 5.2%; both p<.001). The posterior open approach had a lower amputation rate (0.0% vs. 1.6%, p=.009) than the medial approach. The authors concluded that the frequent use of endovascular repair and prosthetic grafts should be reconsidered based on these results.
14.2.2.3 POPART Registry
From June 2014 to August 2019, 794 cases of PAAs had been recorded in the POPART registry [8]. Of the 662 patients in the open surgical repair (OSR) group,
50.3% were symptomatic compared with 29.2% of the 106 patients in the endovas­cular repair (ER) group (P<.05). Emergency treatment because of acute ischemia, critical ischemia, or rupture was necessary for 149 patients (22.5%) in the OSR group and 11 patients (10.3%) in the ER group. The most frequent postoperative complications were impaired wound healing (OSR 7.1%; ER 2.8%; P>.05) and major bleeding (OSR 3.9%; ER 2.8%; P>.05). The in-hospital length of stay was signicantly longer for the OSR group than for the ER group (median, 10days vs median 7 days). The overall patency for the OSR and ER groups after 12 and
14.2 Results

317
24 months was 83.2% and 44.7% (P < .005) and 74.2% and 29.1% (P < .005), respectively. The outcomes with a prosthetic graft vs an autologous vein were sig­nicantly poorer in the OSR group (primary patency, 71.4% vs 88.1% at 12months). In this registry, patency rates after 12 and 24months were low in the ER group compared to patients treated with open repair. However, despite its large number of patients, the POPART registry suffers from multiple drawbacks common to regis­tries including high loss to follow-up and bias [9]. In addition, low rate of ER and low use of percutaneous access in ER may suggest operator inexperience with endo­vascular skills. To answer the question as to which treatment strategy is best for patients with PAA requires a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that would elimi­nate confounding and minimize selection bias.
14.2.2.4 Open PAA Repair inMen andWomen
Using Vascular Quality Initiative data, Naazie etal. [10] investigated whether sex disparities exist for patients treated with open PAA repair. The study included 3807 adult patients, of whom 160 were women (4.2%). Women were more likely to undergo repair for symptomatic disease (77.5% vs 64.1%; P=.001). No difference was found between the women and men in primary patency (95.2% vs 90.8%; P=.230) and overall survival (94.3% vs 96.1%; P=.270). Amputation-free survival was lower for women than for men (91.4% vs 95.3%; P=.033). After adjustment for confounders, no differences were found between the women and men regarding the loss of primary patency and all-cause mortality. For symptomatic PAAs, the risk of major amputation was threefold greater for women (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.09; 95% condence interval, 1.05-9.06; P= .040), and the risk of the composite end point of major amputation or death was twofold higher for women than for men (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.97; 95% condence interval, 1.02-3.79; P= .043). Early recognition and treatment of PAAs in women at a smaller size cutoff before they become symptomatic might potentially lead to improved outcomes. Consideration should be given to sex-based guidelines for treating asymptomatic PAAs in women.
14.2.2.5 Open PAA Repair Using Vein andProsthetic Conduits
In the 2003–2019 Vascular Quality Initiative database, a total of 1146 limbs in 1065 patients underwent elective open revascularization for PAA [11]. Vein was used in 921 limbs (80%), and prosthetic in 225 (20%). Patients in the prosthetic cohort had a shorter procedure time, were older, and had a higher prevalence of COPD.There was no signicant difference in the rate of surgical site infection (2% vs. 2%; P=0.946). There was an increased tendency toward more symptomatic patients in the vein cohort although not statistically signicant (49% vein vs. 41% prosthetic; P=0.096). On a mean follow-up of 13± 5months, the incidence of MALE and MALE-free survival were comparable between the two groups. At multivariable analysis, outow bypass targets to the infrapopliteal arteries (HR 2.05; 95%

condence interval (CI), 1.16-3.65; P= 0.014) and symptomatic aneurysm (HR
1.81; 95% CI, 1.04-3.15; P= 0.037) were independently associated with loss of primary patency. Conduit type did not make a difference in MALE-free survival, or primary graft patency at 2-years. The study demonstrates that conventional open PAA repair with prosthetic conduit yields results comparable to those with vein conduit with regard to primary and secondary patency and MALEs at 2-years for targets to the popliteal artery. However, when the distal target was infrapopliteal, worse outcomes were observed with prosthetic conduit.
14.2.2.6 Open Vs Endovascular Repair ofSymptomatic PAAs
Naazie et al. [12] aimed to study the comparative effectiveness of endovascular PAA repair (EPAR) versus open PAA repair (OPAR) in the treatment of patients presenting symptomatic. A total of 1375 patients of the VQI database were studied, of which 23.7% (n= 326) were treated with EPAR.Patients treated with OPAR were younger, less likely to have coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), but more likely to be smokers and to present with acute lower extremity ischemia. OPAR treated patients had better 2-year AFS (84.5% vs. 72.5%, P<0.001) and overall survival (86.2% vs. 74.7%, P<0.001). Freedom from major amputation at 2years was comparable between EPAR and OPAR (95.5% vs. 97.7%, P=0.164) in the overall cohort. OPAR and EPAR had comparable adjusted risk of 2-year major amputation in the overall cohort. However, for patients presenting with acute limb ischemia OPAR was associated with 72% lower risk of 2-year major amputation compared to EPAR (aHR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.10-0.83; P=0.021). In this study of symptomatic popliteal aneurysms, OPAR was associated with signicantly better amputation free and overall survival compared to EPAR.
14.2.2.7 Open Repair Vs Endovascular Repair inPatients withAcute
Limb Ischemia
Satam etal. [13] compared the outcomes of urgent endovascular and open repair of PAAs for patients presenting with ALI in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) data­base from 2010 to 2021. Urgent PAA repair for ALI constituted 10.5% (n=571) of all PAAs. Of the urgent PAA repairs for ALI, 460 (80.6%) were open, and 111 (19.4%) were endovascular. The proportion of endovascular repair signicantly increased from 16.7% in 2010 to 85.7% in 2021. Patients undergoing endovascular repair were older (71.2± 12.5 vs 68.0±11.8; P= .011) than patients undergoing open repair. They were also more likely to have coronary artery disease (32.4% vs
21.7%; P=.006). Open PAA repair was associated with more bleeding complica­tions (20.8% vs 2.7%; P<.001), longer postoperative length of stay (8.1±9.3days vs 4.9±5.6days; P< .001), and less likelihood of discharge to home (64.9% vs
70.3%; P=.051). The perioperative major amputation rate was 7.5% with no differ­ence between the two treatment strategies. Patients undergoing endovascular repair
14.2 Results
https://t.me/medicina_free
had signicantly higher inpatient (1.1% vs 0%; P < .001) and 30-day (6.3% vs
0.4%; P<.001) mortality than open repair. The 1-year major amputation rate was 15% for both groups, and there was no difference between the two, but 1-year minor amputation was signicantly higher in the endovascular group (4.8% vs 1.3%; P=.048). However, patients receiving endovascular repair had signicantly higher 1-year (16.5% vs 8.4%; P = .02) mortality compared with open repair. Patients undergoing endovascular revascularization had signicantly higher reintervention rate (28.6% vs 2%; P<.001) with no signicant difference in secondary patency compared with open revascularization. Endovascular repair is associated with decreased complications and hospital length of stay. The increased perioperative mortality seen in this group may be related to patient selection and baseline comorbidities.

14.2.3 Studies
14.2.3.1 PAA Growth Rates
In a population-based retrospective cohort study from two centres, Jergovic etal. [14] presented treatment trends in 241 patients diagnosed with PAA.Treatment was indicated at the occurrence of emergent symptoms or considered at a PAA threshold of >2cm. The PAAs were divided into small (≤15mm) and large (>15mm) aneu­rysms. The mean surveillance follow-up was 5.1years. Most of the 241 identied patients (397 limbs) with a diagnosis of PAAs had bilateral aneurysms (n= 156). Most patients were treated within the study period (163 of 241; 68%). No differ­ences were found in the mean diameters between the elective and emergent groups (30.1mm vs 32.2mm; P=.39). Growth was recorded in 110 PAAs and on multi­variate analysis was associated with a larger index diameter and a concurrent abdominal aortic aneurysm (odds ratio, 2.553; P=.046). The study has shown that most patients receiving monitoring for PAAs will require elective repair, usually within 1year.
14.2.3.2 Open Surgery forAcute Ischemia DuetoThrombosed PAA
Jungi etal. [15] analyzed peri-operative, as well as long-term outcomes of patients undergoing urgent open surgery for ALI due to thrombosed PAA, assessing limb salvage and mortality. Fifty-one patients (92% male), median age 75years were identied. Twenty patients (39%) presented with category IIa acute limb ischemia, 20 (39%) with category IIb, and 11 (22%) with category III.Four patients (8%) underwent primary major amputation. Forty-seven (92%) underwent bypass sur­gery, 43/47 (91%) using great saphenous vein. One vessel runoff was present in 27/47 patients (57%). Thirty day mortality was 4% (n= 2). Four patients needed major amputation within 30days, resulting in an overall 30-day major amputation

rate of 16% (8/51). No further major amputations were necessary during a median follow up of 41months (range 4 -114months) resulting in an estimated 4-year limb salvage of 84%. The one year primary assisted and secondary bypass patency rates were 90% and 95%, respectively. Rapid open surgical revascularisation in patients with acute limb ischaemia due to a thrombosed popliteal artery aneurysm results in good long-term limb salvage rates, especially in Rutherford category IIa and IIb acute ischaemia.
14.2.3.3 Open PAA Repair withProsthetic Grafts
In a single-center, retrospective cohort study 82 patients had undergone open surgi­cal repair with prosthetic grafts for 104 PAAs [16]. Of the 104 PAAs, 72 (68%) had been asymptomatic, 8% had had acute ischemia. A medial approach was used for 35 PAAs (34%) and a posterior approach for 69 (65%). No perioperative deaths occurred. The median follow-up was 34.6months (IQR, 8.5-62.7months). Of the 82 patients, 13 (16%) had been lost to follow-up, 16 (20%) had died during follow­ up of unrelated causes, and 19 (23%) had undergone reintervention. The primary and secondary patency at 3years was 80% and 91%, respectively, after PAA repair with the presence of at least two distal running vessels. In contrast, primary and secondary patency had decreased to 71% and 77%, respectively, for patients with only one tibial vessel, although neither difference was statistically signicant. Open surgical repair of PAAs with prosthetic grafts is safe and feasible, with good mid­term results and satisfactory primary and secondary patency at 3years. A posterior approach was preferred when anatomically feasible because it requires one incision instead of two, results in complete interruption and excision of the aneurysm, requires shorter reconstruction, and includes saphenous vein sparing, with good perioperative and mid-term outcomes.
14.2.3.4 Open Vs. Endovascular PAA Repair
Based on Swedish population-based registry data, factors affecting the outcome after open surgical (OSR) and endovascular (ER) repair of PAAs were identied by Cervin etal. [17]. Seventy-seven legs treated by ER were matched, by indication, with 154 legs treated with OSR.Patients in the ER group were older (73 vs. 68years, p=.001), had more lung disease (p=.012), and were treated with dual antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulants more often (p<.001). The hazard ratio (HR) for occlusion was 2.69 for ER, but 3.03 for poor outow. For permanent occlusion, the HR after ER was 2.47 but 4.68 for poor outow. Larger stent graft diameter reduced the risk (HR 0.71 [0.54-0.93], p=.014). In Cox regression analysis adjusted for indication and stent graft diameter, elongation increased the risk (HR 1.020 per degree [1.002-1.033], p=.030). PAAs treated for acute ischaemia had a median stent graft diameter of 6.5mm, with those for elective procedures being 8mm (p<.001). In conclusion, patency is better and the need for reintervention is less frequent after
