Popliteal aneurysm
06/17/2015

Red: viabhan results becoming very close to open surgery; patency wise only (leave alone infection, zero a, and overall function. 

Results are found here: http://www.goremedical.com/resources/dam/assets/AP1730EU2_PAA_TrackRecord.FNL.mr.pdf
Secondary patency is 91% in first two years (vs almost 100% in open in best practice centres); then both matches afterwards.
So I would now support endovascular approaches even in fairly youngish (65 yr old) patients.
