The primary success rate of intraluminal angioplasty for long superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions is low due to the long occlusion length and the hard component of the occlusion. To overcome this problem, subintimal angioplasty has been previously proposed and this technique is now considered as an effective method for the treatment of SFA occlusions. Subsequently, various devices and strategies have been developed to increase the success rate of subintimal angioplasty for SFA occlusions. Here, we present a case in which a long chronic total occlusion of SFA was successfully recanalized by the retrograde subintimal angioplasty through the popliteal artery after the failed antegrade subintimal approach.

From Jan/2001 to Nov/2001 at the Cardio–vascular ward Cho Ray Hospital there were 20 patients who were popliteal artery injured. The causes are that motorbike accident: 18 cases; block ferrous compressed: 01 case; jumping: 01 case. The treatment is that cutting the arterial damaged and transplantation by saphenous vein: 06 cases; amputation 1/3 inferior femoral: 04 cases (two cases for premarie amputation, two cases for 24 hours after operating). Result: 16 patients were checked after operating (ECHO Doppler: 12 cases, DSA: 04 cases). All them have good results: the anastomosis is not stenosis or obstruction.

Popliteal arterial occlusion after total knee arthroplasty is a rare complication, and for now various treatment methods have been tried. The authors report a case of acute popliteal artery occlusion after total knee arthroplasty that was treated by thrombectomy.

Cystic adventitial disease is a rare vascular disease occurring most commonly in the popliteal artery. MR imaging is useful in demonstrating an adventitial cyst and compressed lumen of the popliteal artery.

Reports of popliteal artery rupture without severe knee trauma are rare. The authors have experienced one case of politeal artery injury without dislocation of the knee. Complete resection of ruptured portion of vessel was performed and end to end reanastomosis was done in this case. Then, circulation of limb recovered soon.

Popliteal artery compression rarely occurs after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using the tibial inlay technique that allows for direct visualization of the surgical field. However, we experienced a popliteal artery compression after PCL reconstruction performed using the technique, which eventually required re-operation. Here, we report this rare case and discuss reasons of popliteal artery compression.

Although a popliteal cyst is most commonly identified as an asymptomatic mass occurring just below the popliteal fossa, the fluid may further extravasate into a deep compartment, causing compression with symptoms of local pain and tenderness. When the popliteal vein is compressed by a popliteal cyst, it may develop the symptom simulating the deep vein thrombosis, when the popliteal artery is compressed, it may develop the symptom simulating the ischemic pain and intermittent claudication. It is unusual for popliteal cysts to involve a nerve. When such does occur, it usually involves the tibial nerve, very rarely the peroneal nerve. It is important to diagnose a popliteal cyst early and to differentiate it from a ganglionic cyst, thrombophlebitis or a popliteal aneurysm, to effect optimal therapy and to obviate a potential neuropathy. We are now reporting a case of a thirty four-year-old male who had a popliteal cyst causing tibial nerve compression.
