Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome & TRanscutaneoUS Oxymetry

University Hospital, Angers60 enrolled

Overview

Aim of the study is to test the feasibility of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) recording in the diagnosis of popliteal entrapment syndrome (PES) in 30 patients with suspected PES and 30 asymptomatic control heathy subjects

Patients suspected of PES and healthy cpontrols after detailled explanation of the protocol will have a recording of tcpO2 on both calves and will perform a series of elevation on foot in the standing position.
