Hello, I have the same problem where the popliteal artery is intermittently impinged and it not resolving.
You wrote the 3 following comments:
"I keep going to different doctors until I found someone who cared and she ordered an ABI Test."
" I was sent to a cardiologist who ordered an angiogram which showed the popliteal artery behind by knee was totally blocked."
"I had yet another dangerous surgery where a vascular surgeon cut open the back of my knee and opened the artery."
I have been having difficulty finding drs who understand this. I have been to severa, two orthopedists, a foot doctor, a nerve specialist who said there is no such thing as a vessel entrapment or blockage. I can't find a decent vascular surgeon in my area so I am willing to travel anywhere in the United States if I can find one who has experience with this.
May I ask you who was the first dr who ordered the ABI, the second dr who is a cardiologist and recommended an angiogram and finally, the most important, the vascular surgeon who fixed it?
Thank you for any information that could help.
