Long-term functional outcomes after surgery of functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome

Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (fPAES) is a subtype of PAES without anatomic abnormalities entrapment of the popliteal artery. One of the management of symptomatic fPAES is surgical exploration of the popliteal region with popliteal artery release with lysis of fibrous bands. There is a lack of data regarding the long term functional results of this surgery, most of the studies focusing on vascular patency in anatomical PAES.
