Abstract
The association of popliteal aneurysms (PAs) with other aneurysms of the arterial
tree is very frequent. Although PAs are an infrequent entity, the popliteal artery is the
second most frequent location of arterial aneurysms.
In this paper we present the case of a patient with right lower limb ischemia as a
result of a thrombosed popliteal aneurysm associated to contralateral popliteal
aneurysm and aortic aneurysm. The case was resolved with a combination of surgical
revascularization in the lower limbs and EVAR.
