[Complicated course of a compression syndrome of the popliteal artery in a 36-year-old patient].
The popliteal entrapment syndrome is an entity increasingly reported over the past few years. Anatomical variations should be considered if a localized stenosis or occlusion of the popliteal artery is diagnosed in a young, otherwise healthy individual. This case report documents a complicated course of the disease in a young man in whom diagnosis was made only after futile attempts of intraarterial lysis and dilatation at the time of a second operation. A complex crural reconstruction was necessary in order to revascularize the treatment limb.
