Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is caused by an abnormal anatomical relationship between vessels and muscle within the popliteal fossa. This may result in compression and ultimately thrombosis of the popliteal artery. Awareness of the condition is probably the most important factor in making the diagnosis. This article reviews the clinical features and management of PAES, with observations from personal experience of several cases.

In 35 legs being operated on for varicose veins a venogram showed that the part of the long saphenous vein below the knee does not undergo varicose dilatation. In 7 of the 9 examined postoperatively this segment remained patent after the vein above was stripped. Varicose veins resulting from saphenofemoral incompetence can be treated surgically by stripping the long saphenous vein only to the knee and yet still leave a non-varicose segment for future coronary artery bypass grafting.
