Abstract
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a rare disorder and lead to claudication and disturbance of blood flow from the results of an abnormal relationship of the popliteal artery to the gastrocnemius muscle, a fibrous band or the popliteus muscle in a young male population. The specific diagnosis is difficult, In most cases, surgical treatment provides a definitive diagnosis of the lesion and is necessary for the patient's recovery. A 34-years-old male was admitted complaining of claudication and pain on left leg. Ankle-brachial index, vascular sonography, CT-angiogram and MRI revealed an occlusion of proximal popliteal artery of left leg. The patient was confirmed as a popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (type IV) that the popliteal artery was entrapped by a fibrous band around the popliteus muscle in the operative fold. Completely occluded fibrotic popliteal artery was removed, and interposition with ipsilateral greater saphenous vein graft was done. After surgery, symptoms of the patient have improved.
