Estudio mediante técnicas de imagen no invasivas del síndrome de atrapamiento de la arteria poplítea. A propósito de dos casos

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a cause of lower limb claudication and ischemia in young adults. This syndrome is due to extrinsic arterial compression secondary to a congenital anomaly in the anatomic relations between the popliteal artery and its neighboring musculotendinous structures. Popliteal artery entrapment leads to chronic, progressive vascular microtrauma with atheromatosis and thrombus formation. Accurate early diagnosis is crucial to enable appropriate surgical planning and avoid complications.
