Summary
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) involves the artery in the knee being compressed. This review covers three cases, focusing on its embryological origins and management challenges.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Developmental Biology
- Orthopedics
Background:
- Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare condition causing arterial compression.
- It can lead to claudication and limb ischemia, particularly in young athletes.
- Understanding its embryological basis is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
