          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: el síndrome de atrapamiento de la arteria poplítea es infrecuente. La mayoría de las veces ocurre debido a la compresión de la arteria poplítea por el músculo gastrocnemio o poplíteo. Puede presentarse de forma asintomática o sintomática (claudicación o afectación de la viabilidad de la extremidad). El diagnóstico es clínico, mediante maniobras que producen la contracción del músculo gastrocnemio y pruebas de imagen. El tratamiento es principalmente quirúrgico. Caso clínico: se presenta el caso de un hombre de 62 años, sin factores de riesgo, que realiza actividad física, a quien se le registró disminución de los pulsos distales del miembro inferior derecho. La angiotomografía y la angiorresonancia evidenciaron el atrapamiento de la arteria poplítea derecha con oclusión y recanalización de vasos infrapoplíteos a través de una rama genicular que se originaba proximal a la lesión y actuaba como puente natural, sin repercusión clínica alguna. Probablemente sus mecanismos adaptativos han asegurado una adecuada perfusión distal mediante derivación por arterias colaterales. Discusión: en el atrapamiento poplíteo de causa anatómica debe asegurarse el adecuado flujo sanguíneo distal. Este puede darse de manera natural por la circulación colateral o por la creación de puentes mediante una cirugía.

          Abstract Introduction: popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is infrequent, which occurs in most cases due to compression of the gastrocnemius or popliteal muscle on the artery. It can present asymptomatic, with claudication, or compromise of the viability of the limb. The diagnosis is based on imaging studies at rest and with maneuvers that cause the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle. Surgical treatment is the most used. Case report: the case of a 62-year-old man is presented, without significant risk factors, physically active, with decrease in the distal pulses of the lower right limb. Angio-tomography and angio-MRI show an entrapment of the right popliteal artery, with its occlusion and with recanalization of infrapopliteal vessels through a genicular that originated proximal to the lesion and acted as a natural bridge, without any clinical repercussion. The adaptive mechanisms of the patient were considered to have ensured adequate distal perfusion through a bypass through collateral arteries. Discussion: in anatomically caused popliteal entrapment, adequate distal blood flow must be ensured. This can occur naturally through collateral circulation or by creating bridges through surgery.

          Popliteal entrapment syndrome.

          Popliteal entrapment syndrome (PES) is a rare but important cause of intermittent claudication in young people. Controversy exists about optimal strategies for diagnosis and management, particularly for variants such as functional popliteal entrapment. The aim of this review was to systematically catalog the published English-language literature on PES and to determine if evidence-based guidelines for management could be formulated.

            A current interpretation of popliteal vascular entrapment.

            Functional popliteal artery entrapment is differentiated from anatomical entrapment by the absence of abnormal popliteal fossa anatomy. Although functional compression is a common entity in the general population, the precise etiology and natural history remains unknown. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly defines muscular variations within the popliteal fossa. In light of some of these variations, this article reviews embryological anatomy, diagnosis, classification, and treatment of the popliteal entrapment syndrome.
