Methods: We retrospectively an alyzed the diagnostic and treatment processes used for 2 patients with popliteal venous aneurysms . The main symptoms in these 2 patients were pain and local swelling; pulmonary embolism (PE) was not found in these patients. Both the patients were treated u sing tangential aneurysmectomy with lateral venorrhaphy, followed by warfarin anticoagulation therapy for at least 1 year. Results: Both the patients recovered well with good popliteal vein shapes after surgery, as shown by angiography. No thrombosis - relat ed complications were found until 1 year and 3 months after surgical intervention. Conclusion: Surgical resection should be performed as soon as possible after the diagnosis of popliteal venous aneurysm. Patients should be administered post operative antico agulation therapy to prevent thrombosis that may result from the potential risk of PE .
