En el 72 % de los pacientes el aneurisma era bilat-eral. 22 aneurismas estaban complicados en el momento de la primera consulta. La omplicación más frecuente fue la trombosis intravascular. Los aneurismas complicados, eran tdos bilaterales. En el grupo de pacientes operadospor aneurisma asintomático los resultados fueron uniformemente buenos. Por el contrario los. aneuris:mas operados p-r trombosisaguda signiUcaron 3 amputaciones y 2 muertes.
