Abstract

This brief case report describes the successful outcome after surgical excision of multiple adventitial cysts of the popliteal artery in a 75-year-old man with rapidly worsening claudication. It highlights several unsettled points concerning the diagnosis, cause, and management of cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery and compares duplex ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance angiography in the noninvasive diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
