ObjectiveThe effectiveness of endovascular treatment for popliteal arterial injury has not been well-documented. This study was aimed to investigate the midterm outcomes repair traumatic isolated injury.MethodsMedical records patients who underwent injuries from January 2012 February 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical data including patient demographics, Injury Severity Score, type in...

We encountered a popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) patient who was treated with stent placement for popliteal artery without correcting an abnormal muscular structure that compresses popliteal artery in another institution. The popliteal artery stent was occluded one year after the stent placement. The patient was treated with bypass graft by reversed saphenous vein. Interventionists ...

Lymph node metastasis from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is uncommon. The popliteal fossa is rarely involved with metastasis. Popliteal lymph node dissection is uncommonly performed and not frequently discussed in the literature. We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the heel with popliteal and inguinal metastasis. This is followed by a description of the relevant anatomy of the p...

OBJECTIVE To define diameter at three levels along the popliteal artery and its relation to the inflow arteries in the normal state and in popliteal aneurysms. METHODS The external diameter of the arteries was determined by duplex ultrasound scanning at the common femoral (CFA), superficial femoral artery (SFA), proximal popliteal artery (PPOP), mid-popliteal artery (MPOP), and distal poplite...

Background: Peripheral vascular injury associated with lower limb trauma is a well-known emergency. The experience for the management of popliteal artery trauma have mainly come from managing the traumas of military personnels during Iran-Iraq war. The present study compared the effects of two currently-used surgical techniques in the management of popliteal trauma, namley femoropopliteal bypas...

ObjectiveArterial injury in knee trauma is rare but can be devastating if the diagnosis delayed. The frequency of concomitant arterial resulting from dislocations remains unclear, and fractures it unknown. primary aim was to investigate incidence requiring hospitalisation. Secondary aims were identify risk factors describe outcome.MethodsTraumatic popliteal artery identified by International Cl...

Abstract
 Popliteal artery occlusion is a rare vascular complication after blunt knee trauma and may lead to limb loss if diagnosis delayed. Development of collateral pathways misguide the surgeon in planning surgeries for defect reconstruction. We report case patient with popliteal resulting from dislocation fall height, which developed anteromedial ankle following orthopedic surgery. Aft...

BACKGROUND Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) results from an anomalous relationship between the popliteal artery and the myofascial structures of the popliteal fossa. The most common presenting symptoms include intermittent pain in the feet and calves on exercise, resulting in lameness. PAES can lead to popliteal artery thrombosis, stenosis, distal arterial thromboembolism, or arteria...

We present a patient with malignant melanoma on his heel. Wide local excision was performed, along with sentinel lymph node biopsy of the inguinal and popliteal lesions. The primary site was clear of tumor at all margins; the inguinal nodes were negative, but the popliteal node was positive for metastatic melanoma. Only radical popliteal lymph node dissection was performed. The patient went on ...
