"Arterial compression can result in chronic vascular microtrauma, local premature arteriosclerosis, and thrombus formation. This can result in distal ischaemia. Stenosis and turbulent flow may lead to post-stenotic ectasia or aneurysm formation."
"type I: popliteal artery has an aberrant medial course around the medial head of the gastrocnemius"
"type II: artery is not displaced, but the medial head of gastrocnemius inserts more lateral than usual; the artery passes medial and beneath the muscle"
"type III: an accessory slip of the medial head of gastrocnemius slings around the artery"
"type IV: artery lies deep in popliteal fossa entrapped by popliteus or fibrous band"
"type V: both popliteal artery and vein are entrapped"
"The anatomic anomalies may be seen in up to 3-3.5% of the population and are often bilateral 2 (~2/3 of cases). Most individuals; however, are asymptomatic, and the true clinical syndrome is far less common. Individuals with well-developed muscles are more likely to be symptomatic, which probably explains why the syndrome is most often found in young sportspersons (~60 % in those"
