title: [Entrapment and cystic degeneration of the adventitia as a cause of occlusion of the popliteal artery].
abstract: The entrapment syndrome and the cystic adventitial degeneration of the popliteal artery are diseases affecting relative young patients. Four cases of entrapment and one case of cystic degeneration are demonstrated. In one patient also an entrapment of the popliteal vein is demonstrated. In all patients the outcome of vascular reconstruction was good. For the entrapment syndrome the posterior approach is prefered.
