Abstract:
A case of functional entrapment missed at the initial angiogram is presented. The imaging of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and functional entrapment is discussed. The importance of appropriate imaging is emphasized. The classification of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is discussed and it is proposed that functional entrapment is added to the existing classification in the interest of consistent reporting.
