| Summary: | Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) is a rare cause of intermittent claudication and
nonatherosclerotic conditions in middle-aged men without cardiovascular risk factors.
The etiology of CAD is unclear; however, the direct communication between a cyst and
a joint is presumed to be a cause. We herein report a case series of CAD of the popliteal
artery (CADPA), in which patients were treated with surgical resection and vascular
reconstruction. Although less invasive treatment modalities, including percutaneous
cyst aspiration and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, have been the subject of
recent reports, these treatments have had a higher recurrence rate. Therefore, all of the
CAPDA cases in the present series were treated surgically, which lead to good
outcomes. |
