Abstract
Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of 37 cases of popliteal vascular entrapment syndrome (PVES). Methods The clinical data of 37 PVESA cases (44 limbs) from July 2004 to July 2016 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 28 men and 9 women, age ranging from 7 to 74 years.They all underwent B-us, CTA, MRA or DSA examination before the operation.Surgical procedures performed on 38 limbs included musculo-tendinous division, popliteal-popliteal interposition, femoral-popliteal bypass. Result One patient died of PE one day after operation. The ankle brachial index (ABI) increased from 0.54±0.31 to 0.87±0.23 after operation (P<0.01). 30 cases were followed-up with a mean followup time of 43.8 months and intermittent claudication were relieved in all cases. Conclusions PVES is an extremely important cause of non-arteriosclerotic lower extremity arterial chronic ischemia which need early, active and appropriate surgical intervention. Key words: Intermittent claudication; Ischemia; Vascular surgical procedures
