Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome
Abstract
» Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a commonly misdiagnosed condition that should be considered in patients presenting with exertional lower-extremity pain. » In addition to a focused physical examination, the ankle-brachial index and advanced imaging consisting of computed tomography and computed tomographic angiography or magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography are crucial in evaluating the underlying cause of entrapment. » Consultation with a vascular surgeon or team is necessary when planning surgical treatment of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome.
