Cystic Arterial Disease Located Only in the Media of the Popliteal Artery: A Case Report

Abstract

Adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery is a rare non-atheromatous peripheral artery disease. In most cases, the cystic lesion is located in the adventitia of the popliteal artery. Herein, we present a rare case of cystic arterial disease in which the cyst was located only in the media of the popliteal artery. We successfully treated the cyst with resection of the affected popliteal artery and reconstruction with an autogenous vein graft.
