Popliteal entrapment syndrome.

V D Gaines, P Ramchandani, R L Soulen

    Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Popliteal entrapment syndrome can occur without arterial anomalies, leading to thrombosis and ischemia. Surgical release of the entrapment effectively resolves these symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Popliteal entrapment syndrome (PES) is a rare condition causing leg ischemia.
    • Typical PES involves anatomical abnormalities of the popliteal artery.

    Observation:

    • This case presents a variant of PES without an anomalous popliteal artery course.
    • Ischemic symptoms were attributed to in situ thrombosis from entrapment-induced stasis.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis requires understanding diverse entrapment causes and utilizing biplane angiography with provocative maneuvers.
    • Surgical release of the popliteal artery entrapment led to complete symptom resolution in this patient.

    Implications:

    • Highlights a non-anatomical variant of popliteal artery entrapment.
  • Emphasizes the importance of diagnostic imaging and surgical intervention for limb salvage.
