Intravascular ultrasound diagnosis of cystic adventitial degeneration of the popliteal artery: A case report

The diagnosis of cystic adventitial degeneration (CAD) is difficult. We present the first case in which intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) correctly identified CAD of the popliteal artery when duplex sonography and angiography were inconclusive.
