    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Anatomy
    • Embryology

    Background:

    • Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare condition.
    • It can lead to claudication and distal embolization.
    • Understanding its etiology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • Embryological development of the medial gastrocnemius muscle may cause popliteal vessel entrapment.
    • Dissections revealed instances of popliteal vessel entrapment.
    • Surgical cases demonstrate the syndrome's clinical presentation.

    Findings:

    • A proposed embryological mechanism for popliteal artery entrapment.
    • Anatomical dissections identified popliteal vessel entrapment in specimens.
    • Review of literature cases provides insights into entrapment types, age, and sex distribution.

    Implications:

    • PAES is a treatable cause of claudication.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical correction are effective.
    • Timely intervention can prevent distal embolization and occlusions.
