| Popis: | Popliteal artery aneurysms are the most common peripheral artery aneurysms. We present a case of rare combination of chronic aortic dissection type III and rupture of a giant popliteal aneurysm in 74 years old patient. We ligated the ruptured popliteal aneurysm with interposition of PTFE 8/5 prosthesis with a distal venous ‘cuff'. Postoperatively, the patient had palpable pedal pulses. He was discharged on the twenty-third postoperative day not on anticoagulant therapy because of the chronic aortic dissection type III, but on aspirin. |
