POPLITEAL ARTERY ENTRAPMENT (PAES)

Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES): Specialized Care for Arterial Health

Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES) is a rare condition where the popliteal artery in the knee becomes compressed or trapped, often by nearby muscles or tissues. At Pinnacle Vein and Vascular Center, our experienced vascular specialists provide comprehensive care for PAES, offering a range of treatment options tailored to restore normal blood flow and alleviate symptoms.

Understanding Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES)

PAES occurs when the popliteal artery, which supplies blood to the lower leg, is compressed or obstructed by surrounding anatomical structures. This compression can impair blood flow, leading to symptoms and potential complications if not addressed. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for preventing long-term damage and improving quality of life.

Recognizing Symptoms

Symptoms of PAES may vary but commonly include:

  • Pain, cramping, or weakness in the calf, especially during physical activity
  • Numbness or tingling in the lower leg
  • Cold or pale skin in the affected leg
  • Reduced exercise tolerance or difficulty walking

Specialized Treatment Approaches

Our treatment for Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome may include:

  • Conservative Measures: Physical therapy and lifestyle modifications to alleviate symptoms and improve leg function.
  • Surgical Intervention: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to release the entrapped artery and restore normal blood flow. Surgical options may include decompression procedures or re-routing the artery.

Schedule Your Consultation

If you are experiencing symptoms of PAES or suspect you may have this condition, it’s essential to seek evaluation and treatment from our specialized team.
