The affected leg was warm with intact motor and sensory function, palpable femoral, and popliteal arterial pulses, but non‐palpable left posterior tibial and anterior tibial arterial pulses, both of which had triphasic wave signals on a portable hand‐held Doppler (there was below knee marked...
The popliteal fossa is an important anatomical area because all neurovascular structures passing from the thigh to the leg traverse this space. It is filled with tissues that offer protection to the neurovascular structure and yet allow the movement at the knee joint. This is a diamond-shaped fos...
Behçet’s aneurysm has the tendency to multiply and can involve any arteries [10], [17]. The most affected sites reported for arterial aneurysm were the aorta, pulmonary, femoral, popliteal and carotid arteries [2]. Arterial aneurysms were also associated with high CRP and ESR levels [18]...
Pedal pulses were 2+ in the left extremity and could not be palpated on the right. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of our patient (Figure 1) revealed a peri-graft fluid collection in the popliteal fossa of the right lower extremity and an occluded femoral-popliteal graft. Our patient'...
- displacement in sagittal plane is assoc w/ N/V injury in popliteal fossa and instability on closed reduction; - common mechanism is hyperextsion causing anterior displacement of epiphysis; - displacement in coronal plane is not assoc w/ other injuries, & joint may be stable after closed redu...
The patient has palpable ankle pulses and progressed to heal the ischemic ulcers following the aortobipopliteal bypass operation.doi:10.1177/153857440003400414Sottiurai, V. S.McNeil, J.Hatter, D.Vascular Surgery
Pulses could not be palpated in the ipsilateral common femoral, popliteal, anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Doppler examination showed very low monophasic signals in the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) was 0.35. Heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia (HIT) was ...
The left lower extremity (LE) had a well-healing saphenectomy wound and 2+ pitting edema at the ankle. Bilateral LE muscle strength was grade 5/5. No pulse was felt in the right groin; the left groin pulse was present. Right popliteal and pedal pulses...
Popliteal and pedal pulses were absent on both sides. Bilateral carotid bruits were noted. Palpation of the abdominal aorta was normal. The patient was also moderately breathless on minimal exertion and had a chronic productive cough. The ECG was normal, a chest x-ray showed evidence for ...
Popliteal Artery The popliteal artery begins at the adductor hiatus as the direct continuation of the superficial femoral artery. It travels downward and slightly laterally to go behind the distal femur to enter the popliteal fossa. The popliteal fossa is an important anatomical area because all neur...
