A large partially thrombosed fusiform aneurysm of the popliteal artery. Presented by Fabrizio D’Abate Accredited Clinical Vascular Scientist.
Case study description: This video shows the ultrasound assessment of a large partially thrombosed aneurysm of the popliteal artery. The video demonstrates the different steps to follow when performing an ultrasound assessment of a popliteal artery aneurysm which includes B-mode, colour flow Doppler and pulse wave Doppler. While B-mode provides information on shape and size of the aneurysm as well as on the presence of arterial walls abnormalities, colour flow Doppler and pulse wave Doppler are helpful in assessing patency of residual patent lumen and quantify flow through the aneurysm.
