Arterial aneurysms in the peripheral vessels are not benign, they can be a source of major complications if they rupture and bleed, they can be also painful and can harbor blood clots that eventually transfer to other healthy organs.
With the new advancements in Endoprosthesis, this case, performed by Dr. Bisharat, demonstrates how to seal and cover a popliteal artery aneurysm located behind the knee using the most advanced covered stent technology made by GORE® VIABAHN®.
The patient had a long history of severe knee pain ended up walking out happy after a 30-minute procedure. Special thanks to Memorial Hospital for providing the best available technology for our Ashchi Heart & Vascular doctors to best serve the patients especially in this case of Arterial aneurysms.
