Extended posterior approach for huge popliteal aneurysm extended to superficial femoral artery.

The advantages of this approach allowed for entire exposure of the popliteal aneurysm in the same patient's position when we perform aneurysmectomy and bypass. It is possible for this approach to provide easy access to the superficial femoral artery proximal to the adductor hiatus and distal below-knee popliteal artery including the tibioperoneal trunk.
