Abstract EN
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a relatively rare condition that occurs in young patients as a result of anomalous anatomic relationships between the popliteal artery and the surrounding musculotendinous structures.
Patients usually lack atherogenic risk factors and most commonly present with intermittent claudication in the early stages.
In the later stages of undiagnosed PAES, acute ischaemia can occur as a result of complete arterial occlusion or embolism.
Hence, early diagnosis and surgical release of the entrapment is crucial for good operative outcome and to prevent limb loss.
