Trapped popliteal artery syndrome is relatively uncommon: the literature reports some 60 cases. The clinical picture is linked to compression of the popliteal artery by the gastrocnemius as it contracts, thus distorting the arterial route. The result is an interruption in the blood flow distally to the area involved due to stenosis of the blood vessel that is at first functional but becomes organic.

Adductor Canal Block Combined With IPACK Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
HSS J
February 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: There is no consensus on whether adductor canal block (ACB) combined with infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block can further increase analgesia and reduce opioid consumption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with ACB and periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA).
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining ACB and PACK block on analgesia and functional recovery following TKA.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 386 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA at our institution from January 2020 to October 2022.
Short-Term Outcomes of Dual Versus Single Antiplatelet Therapy Following Popliteal and Infrapopliteal Endovascular Therapy: Data From Dutch Chronic Lower Limb-Threatening Ischemia Registry (THRILLER).

Department of Vascular Surgery, Northwest Hospital Group, Alkmaar, The Netherlands.
Objective: There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal antithrombotic therapy (ATT) after popliteal and infrapopliteal (PIP) endovascular therapy (EVT). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 3 months and single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) are the most prescribed regimens in the Netherlands. Thus far, no randomized comparison has been performed on the optimal ATT approach.

Analgesic Effect of Intermittent Multiple IPACK Block Combined with ACB in Patients with Flexion Contracture Knee Arthritis Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Department of Anesthesiology, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.
We aimed to compare the analgesic effects of intermittent multiple infiltrations between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) combined with adductor canal block (ACB) and intermittent ACB alone in patients with flexion contracture knee arthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Forty-six patients who underwent elective unilateral TKA were divided into two groups ( = 23 each): intermittent multiple IPACK combined with ACB (group IA) and intermittent multiple ACB (group A). ACB was performed with 20 mL of 0.

A woman in her 70s with hypertension, breast cancer and diverticulosis underwent laparoscopic anterior resection for a tubule-villous adenoma, converted to open Hartmann's with aorto-bi-iliac bypass due to a vascular injury. Intraoperative complications included haem-o-lok penetration of the calcified aorta, necessitating vascular team intervention. Postoperative issues included bilateral popliteal artery emboli requiring embolectomy and fasciotomy, and a parastomal abscess.
