Bilateral popliteal artery aneurysms on CT

Bilateral popliteal artery aneurysms on CT
The CT angiogram demonstrates a 1.2 cm aneurysm of the right popliteal artery and a 2 cm aneurysm of the left popliteal artery.
  • Proximal to the aneurysms, a patent but narrowed distal segment of a right-sided femoral-popliteal artery bypass (arrowhead in A) and a normal left distal SFA (arrow in A) can be seen.
  • The left popliteal artery aneurysm (arrowhead in B) is poorly opacified.The right-sided aneurysm is small (arrow in D) and the distal right popliteal artery is normal (arrow in E).
  • The 3D reconstruction of the peripheral arteries (C) shows a right-sided popliteal artery aneurysm (arrowhead in C). The left-sided popliteal artery aneurysm starts at the distal superficial artery (dashed arrow in C) and extends into the proximal popliteal artery (arrow).
CT: computed tomography
SFA: superficial femoral artery
3D: three-dimensional
