Abstract

Bilateral symmetrical isolated mid popliteal artery occlusion is a rare case. Such cases have been reported with popliteal artery entrapment syndrome(1,2,3). We report a young patient with bilateral symmetrical isolated mid popliteal artery occlusion with bilateral critical limb ischemia with arteritis, after ruling out popliteal entrapment syndrome, managed successfully with bilateral popliteal angioplasty. This is the first case report of bilateral symmetrical isolated mid popliteal artery occlusion in the absence of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome.
