INTRODUCTION: Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are the most prevalent form of peripheral arterial aneurysms. Greater saphenous vein grafts and endoaneurysmorrhaphy remains the mainstay therapy for open repair of PAA. True aneurysmal degeneration of lower extremity infrainguinal autologous vein grafts are relatively rare and its etiology is not completely understood. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 57-year-old man with recurrent autologous venous graft aneurysmal dilatations following a surgical popliteal artery aneurysm repair. DISCUSSION: The pathogenesis of true aneurysmal graft dilatation remains speculative with possible pathogenesis including progression of underlying atherosclerosis, systemic dilating diathesis, autologous venous graft varicosities, low-grade infections and post-stenotic dilatations. Management of venous graft aneurysms should be subjected to the same criteria as other aneurysms. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. The initial study of choice is duplex ultrasonography as it can diagnose the aneurysm and distinguish it from other popliteal masses, provide accurately measurements and identify thrombus within the aneurysm. Once diagnosed, surgical repair should be performed as soon as possible as graft dilatation tends to occur overtime and is typically followed by a rapid increase in size over a short period of time. CONCLUSION: Aneurysmal degeneration of autologous saphenous venous graft following PAA repairs occur infrequently. Its etiology remains largely speculative. Accurate diagnosis and early surgical intervention can prevent progression of aneurysmal dilatation and minimize the potential of complications.
