  • Title: [Entrapped popliteal artery. Value of medical imaging and review of the literature].
    Author: Vuong PN, Laurian C.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1992 Apr; 73(4):247-52. PubMed ID: 1640399.
    Abstract:
    Medical imaging techniques (Duplex-scan, arteriography, CT scan, magnetic resonance) are obviously the most important elements in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation in cases of "entrapped" popliteal artery. The physiopathogenic mechanism of this arteriopathy is a localized microtrauma of the arterial wall due to vascular compression by pre-existing anatomic abnormalities of the popliteal fossa.
