An acute compartment syndrome of the calf due to popliteal vein compression is described in a 71-year-old man who had undergone

Aneurysm decompression by using a posterior approach was completed, including genicular artery ligation, and fasciotomy was performed. Irreversible ischemia of the foot necessitated tibial amputation on the third day after surgery. The literature on complications of excluded popliteal aneurysms after bypass and ligation, clinical presentations, and surgical management is reviewed.
