Abstract
|
|
|
|
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is an infrequent disease that usually occurs in relatively young patients. The authors encountered a case of unilateral popliteal artery occlusion caused by anomalous slippage of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. Complete resection of the occluded segment and myotomy of the anomalous slip were performed, and end-to-end re-anastomosis was completed using a saphenous vein graft. At 18 months after the procedure, there was no evidence of recurrence.
