[CT demonstration of an entrapment syndrome of the popliteal artery].
In a 43-year old patient, in whom a transluminal revascularisation of an occluded popliteal artery had ben performed, computed tomography showed a popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. The popliteal artery coursed on the medial side of a lateralised, medial gastrocnemius muscle and was also compressed from dorsally by an accessory muscle that extended from the medial femoral condylus to the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The findings were confirmed by an operation.
