Abstract

Cystic adventitial disease represents an unusual cause of peripheral vascular insufficiency. A mucinous cyst in the outer media or adventitia progressively compromises the arterial lumen. The therapy can be either aspiration of the cyst or resection with graft interposition. We present two cases involving the popliteal artery that were treated by resection. This lesion may be recognized by its angiographic appearance associated with a lack of generalized atherosclerotic disease.
