Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is recognized as a cause of lower leg claudication in patients younger than 50 years of age. We report a rare case of a patient with bilateral popliteal artery entrapment who presented with the same symptom 11 years after his first experience of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. On both occasions, the surgery was performed in a similar manner and the patient was free from symptoms after the surgery. Since the diagnosis of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is difficult, early detection of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is important to prevent its progression.
腘动脉受压综合征被认为是50岁以下患者小腿间歇性跛行的一个病因。我们报告一例罕见的双侧腘动脉受压患者，在首次出现腘动脉受压综合征11年后再次出现相同症状。两次发病时，手术方式相似，术后患者症状消失。由于腘动脉受压综合征的诊断困难，早期发现该综合征对于防止其病情进展很重要。
