| pubmed-article:9510294 | pubmed:abstractText | A 73-year-old man with a giant popliteal artery aneurysm extending from the mid-thigh to the popliteal fossa underwent exclusion, bypass, and obliterative endoaneurysmorrhaphy while in a modified Sims' position. The use of this position allowed for exposure of the saphenous vein and the entire popliteal artery in the same operative field. No muscle division was required. Moreover, this position provided easy access to the superficial femoral and distal below-knee popliteal arteries. | lld:pubmed |
