Article Synopsis
- Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) is a rare genetic condition affecting the face, limbs, and genital areas, characterized mainly by a restrictive band known as popliteal pterygium.
- This band creates a contracture that runs from the ischial tuberosity to the calcaneum, making surgical correction challenging due to its dense fibrous nature.
- The report discusses a case where a PPS patient has family members diagnosed with Van der Woude syndrome, highlighting that a combination of surgery and strong parental support is necessary for effective rehabilitation since single-stage surgeries are often unsuccessful.

Background: Whether intraluminal drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is superior to subintimal DCB angioplasty regarding femoropopliteal (FP) chronic total occlusion (CTO) outcomes has not been systematically determined.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the 1-year clinical outcomes of intraluminal and subintimal DCB angioplasty for the treatment of patients with symptomatic FP CTO.
Methods: This subanalysis of POPCORN (Prospective Multi-Center Registry of Drug-Coated Balloon for Femoropopliteal Disease) evaluated 469 lesions in 469 symptomatic patients with lower extremity artery disease who presented with FP CTO and underwent DCB treatment.

Surgical reduction of the obstructing tissue allowed her to return to professional running. This case highlights the importance of including PAES in the differential for chronic intermittent lower extremity claudication and outlines the work-up required to diagnose this vascular obstruction in younger athletes.
