Objective To summarize experience of diagnosis and surgical treatment of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES).Method The clinical data of 10 patients (10 limbs) with PAES underwent surgery in the China-Japan Hospital of Jilin University from January 2012 to July 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 10 cases of PAES, 7 cases were firstly diagnosed with the intermittent claudication, 3 cases had presented the acute lower extremity ischemia. The preoperative ultrasound and (or) computed tomography angiography showed that 9 cases were all the popliteal artery occlusion and the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in 1 patient after the admission for the treatment. Six patients were preoperatively diagnosed with the PAES. Seven cases were treated with the autologous saphenous vein interstitial bypass; 1 case was occluded on day 3 after the popliteal artery thrombectomy, then the reconstruct of femoral popliteal artery was performed after the exploration and diagnosis. One case directly received the catheter thrombolysis and balloon dilatation during the process of DSA examination, the effect was not good, then the muscular bundle resection and popliteal artery artificial patch plasty was performed after confirming the PAES. All the 10 cases were followed up by the color doppler ultrasound after the surgery, 1 patient underwent the saphenous vein graft reconstruction (distal anastomotic anastomosis) was obliterated on month 1 after the surgery, 1 case was occluded on month 3 after the popliteal artery reconstruction, the patency rate of the remaining 8 patients was 100% from 3-month to 1-year of following-up. Conclusion Surgical treatment is an only effective radical treatment of PAES and its patency rate of total occlusive lesions with autogenous saphenous vein graft is higher.
