Comparison of popliteal artery aneurysm outcomes after open repair and endovascular repair: reducing post-operative type II endoleak and sac enlargement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This cohort study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of open repair (OR) and endovascular repair (ER) and identify the most suitable graft and approach for treating popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) patients.

Methods

The data of PAA patients from January 2000 to August 2020 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The primary endpoints were 30-day mortality, peri-operative complication morbidity, post-operative type II endoleak, and sac- enlargement. The secondary endpoints were primary graft patency, secondary graft patency, the reintervention rate, and overall mortality.

Results

A total of 213 PAAs of 186 patients were surgically repaired. The ER group had a significantly lower mean length of hospital stay, blood loss volume, and aneury
