<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the treatmentstrategies of peripheral arterial aneurysms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-five cases were reviewed from July 1998 to December 2007, and 28 cases were male, 7 cases were female. Eleven cases were popliteal artery aneurysms, 15 cases were femoral arteryaneurysms, 4 cases were extracranial carotid aneurysms and 5 cases were subclavian arteryaneurysms. All cases had either open procedures or endovascular procedures.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Surgical open procedures were performed on 24 cases, and endovascular procedures were performed on 11 cases. The perioperative complication rate were 16.7% (4/24) and 0% for open and endovascular groups respectively. The average follow-up time was 41 months (7 months to 8 years). The accumulative five year patency were 61% and 48% for surgical grafts and stentgrafts respectively. Two cases died of diseases and one had stroke during follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Surgical open repair is still standard procedure for most peripheral arterial aneurysms and endovascular repair may have its own advantage for high riskpatients.</p>
