Abstract
- Popliteal venous aneurysms are highly associated with local venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. We propose a simple and new surgical therapy for popliteal venous aneurysm by ligation of the femoral vein. We describe the case of a woman with recurrent pulmonary embolism. Venous ultrasound examination showed a venous aneurysm of the right popliteal fossa. We proposed a ligature-section of the femoral vein just below the confluence of the great saphenous vein. After >6 years of follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic, with a completely normal life and only a small amount of edema of the right leg.
