Case report reveals successful percutaneous exclusion of popliteal artery aneurysm using Merit Wrapsody stent, suggesting new applications for this device.
We present a case report on the off-label use of the Merit Wrapsody® covered stent for popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) treatment. This device, typically indicated for use in hemodialysis access, was successfully employed to percutaneously exclude a symptomatic PAA. This case highlights the feasibility and potential advantages of this endoprosthesis in arterial settings beyond its original indication.
