Description

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a well-known congenital condition causing limb ischemia. A similar entity caused by entrapment of a femoropopliteal bypass graft by the muscle and tendons around the knee has also been described. Ultrasonography or MR imaging is considered as a choice of a noninvasive modality for this condition, but there are some limitations. We report a case of iatrogenic entrapment of femoropopliteal bypass graft that was confirmed by multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT)
