Abstract
This article describes our approach and evidence-based evaluation of popliteal entrapment syndrome. Included is a technical description of our use of preoperative intravascular ultrasound for diagnosis and operative planning in combination with our utilization of intraoperative duplex ultrasound. This evidence-based, methodical approach enables not only the correct diagnosis of the type of popliteal entrapment, but more importantly, identifies irreparable injury to the popliteal artery that would necessitate operative arterial reconstruction prior to surgery.
