ABSTRACT
Compare to aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery aneurysm is rare but has a tendency of developing multiple arterial aneurysms at the same time. Popliteal artery is the most frequent site of involvement and followed by femoral artery. More than 90% of peripheral artery aneurysms are occurred at these two arteries. Since we have no written nationwide report of peripheral artery aneurysm, we reviewed aneurysms that developed outside of the thoracoabdominal cavity and compared it with western reports. From January 1991 through December 1998, we experienced 19 cases of peripheral artery aneurysms and these included pseudoaneurysms that developed long after vascular trauma. Most frequent ages were 30's and about 3/4 of the patients were male. More than 75% of the patients had symptom of pulsating mass or tender mass when they visited hospital but symptoms associated with mass, such as compression of surrounding structure, were developed in only one patient. Nine cases were developed at femoral arteries and three at popliteal artery and these included 5 cases of pseudoaneurysm. One patient showed multiple arterial aneurysms and 7 patients had atherosclerosis or hypertension. Three cases had Behcet's disease and two of them developed pseudoaneurysm at arterial puncture site and vascular anastomotic site. Most of the aneurysms were excised and performed patch graft, bypass graft or simple closure according to the size of the aneurysm. Three of the patients were died due to myocardial infarction, sepsis and advanced renal failure but aneurysm related mortality was only one who developed sepsis after bypass graft. In summary, we have different incidence of peripheral artery aneurysm in site, multiplicity and presenting symptoms but these are not sufficient because of small limited number of patients. Nationwide report and analysis is necessary.
