Abstract

Aneurysms of the popliteal vein usually occur within the context of angiodysplastic syndromes. The first symptom of an isolated aneurysm may be pulmonary embolism. Recurrent pulmonary embolism without thrombophilia requires more specific diagnostics. The rate of recurrent pulmonary embolism is high when no therapy is applied. Surgical treatment results in healing.
