[Aneurysms of the popliteal artery. A clinical case and revision of the literature].

The authors report their experience about one case of popliteal artery aneurysm. The patient was treated with aneurysm resection and dacron by-pass graft. The good surgical results and high risk of natural complications of popliteal aneurysms suggest that operation in the asymptomatic stage should always be attempted.
