ABSTRACT
Surgical treatment for popliteal artery cystic adventitial disease (PACAD) is still controversial. PACAD often occurs in young or middle-aged adults. Therefore, the maintenance of graft patency for very long periods is a concern if a prosthesis is used. Because the intima is intact in PACAD patients with popliteal artery stenosis, a treatment that preserves the healthy intima is ideal. We describe the cases of 3 patients who underwent cystic excision for PACAD with severe stenosis. No recurrence was observed for up to 11 years, and these long-term results revealed that cystic excision could be reconsidered as one of the first-line therapeutic methods.
