Abstract
Isolated extremity arterial aneurysms remain a rare entity, and the development of a spontaneous arteriovenous fistula from such an aneurysmal segment in a young patient should prompt a search for an underlying genetic predisposition. Endovascular repair of aneurysms or arteriovenous fistulas in the popliteal artery is appropriate in select populations; however, open repair allows for a more durable reconstruction of both the arterial and any involved venous segments in patients who can tolerate the procedure.
