Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a relatively rare condition that occurs in young patients as a result of anomalous anatomic relationships between the popliteal artery and the surrounding musculotendinous structures. Patients usually lack atherogenic risk factors and most commonly present with intermittent claudication in the early stages. In the later stages of undiagnosed PAES, acute ischaemia can occur as a result of complete arterial occlusion or embolism. Hence, early diagnosis and surgical release of the entrapment is crucial for good operative outcome and to prevent limb loss.
腘动脉受压综合征（PAES）是一种相对罕见的疾病，发生于年轻患者，是腘动脉与周围肌肉肌腱结构之间解剖关系异常所致。患者通常缺乏动脉粥样硬化危险因素，早期最常见的表现为间歇性跛行。在未确诊的PAES后期，由于动脉完全闭塞或栓塞可发生急性缺血。因此，早期诊断并手术解除压迫对于获得良好的手术效果和预防肢体丧失至关重要。
