Abstract
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a rare cause of intermittent claudication in young patients. Unlike the atherosclerotic and degenerative etiologies typically associated with arterial disease, PAES is primarily of anatomic origin. PAES is rarely associated with aneurysmal disease. We present a case and subsequent surgical management of a 47-year-old male who experienced acute limb ischemia secondary to thrombosis of a popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA), who was found to have bilateral PAES and PAAs.
