Autologous saphenous vein is considered the gold standard conduit in the femoral-popliteal revascularization for popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs). In several cases, it may be absent or unsuitable for length or diameter and so it may be considered unfit for a conduit. In such patients, a synthetic graft or the endovascular correction can be useful, but results are controversial. In this retrospective case series, we have analyzed the safety and efficacy of the cryopreserved homograft (CHg) as a conduit in the PAA revascularization.

Abstract

Autologous saphenous vein is considered the gold standard conduit in the femoral-popliteal revascularization for popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs). In several cases, it may be absent or unsuitable for length or diameter and so it may be considered unfit for a conduit. In such patients, a synthetic graft or the endovascular correction can be useful, but results are controversial. In this retrospective case series, we have analyzed the safety and efficacy of the cryopreserved homograft (CHg) as a conduit in the PAA revascularization.
