Purpose Variations of the terminal branches of the popliteal artery (PA) are not uncommon and manifest by a wide range of pathology. Medical professionals thus require knowledge and insight into popliteal anatomic arterial variability for effective medical practice. This study aimed to use computed ...
Popliteal vein Thepopliteal vein, a continuation of theposterior tibial vein, lies superficial to the popliteal artery within the same fibrous sheath. After it exits the fossa superiorly, it becomes thefemoral veinas it passes through the adductor hiatus. ...
Popliteal artery occlusive disease is a common occurrence, especially in elderly patients, smokers, and those with diabetes mellitus and other cardiovascular diseases. Each year, more than 100,000 peripheral arterial reconstructive operations and 50,000

The treatment of popliteal artery (PA) disease with stenting or stent-grafting procedures has renewed the interest in the definition of its anatomic features at rest and, more compelling and intriguing, during knee movements, as the popliteal region is a very dynamic anatomic segment [1]. The ...
Each femoral artery passes down the leg and, when it reaches the knee, is called the popliteal artery. Below the knee, the popliteal artery divides into three arteries called the anterior and posterior tibial and peroneal arteries. When they reach the ankle and foot they are called pedal arter...
