Surgery for functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with a condition called functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome, where the main artery behind the knee gets squeezed during exercise. By following patients after surgery, researchers hope to learn more about recovery and long-term benefits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to open a blocked artery in the leg: using a special balloon that releases medicine to prevent re-blockage, versus placing a small metal tube (stent) coated with medicine. The goal is to see which approach better keeps the artery open and relieves leg symptoms.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with leg pain when walking caused by narrowed leg arteries. The goal is to see if exercise can improve walking ability and quality of life.
This study looks at people with blocked leg arteries who are having planned (elective) open surgery for symptoms like leg pain when walking or at rest. It aims to better understand what to expect in these patients and how to compare outcomes between groups.
This trial looks at outcomes in adults who have injuries to the femoropopliteal (thigh-to-knee) artery. It may help doctors understand what affects recovery and discharge, especially for preventing complications.
This trial compares a physiotherapy program to a surgical procedure (fasciotomy) for chronic “compartment” pressure in the lower leg triggered by exercise. If you have symptoms that reliably come on with walking/running and improve with rest, the study may offer a structured way to find the best treatment for you.
This study compares two ways to open a completely blocked artery in the leg: using a paclitaxel-coated balloon alone, or first removing some blockage with a special device (debulking) before using the balloon. It aims to see which approach gives better long-term results for people with chronic leg artery blockages.
