Summary

Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (FPAES) is a rare unique clinical entity that does not have associated with anatomic abnormalities and, therefore, is thought to be functional in nature (1,2). It has been first described by Rignault et al. in 1985, and its true mechanism is not well understood (3,4). Given the relative lack of knowledge of FPAES in the literature and the reported outcomes after decompressive surgery are limited and not standardized. The objective of this study was to describe our diagnostic and peri-operative protocol, clinical outcomes of a unique surgical management technique based on the systemic section of the attachment of the medial head of the gastrocnemius.
