“…Despite improvements in vascular surgical techniques, popliteal vascular injuries and popliteal aneurysms continue to be potentially dangerous lesions with high percentage of leg amputations. [14][15][16] This study state right popliteal arteries are slightly larger (4.9 ± 0.7 mm) as compare to left popliteal artery (4.8± 0.5 mm). This study also reconfirm popliteal arteries of men are slightly larger than that of female (4.9 ± 0.7 mm), (4.6± 0.9 mm) and left popliteal artery (4.8± 0.5 mm), (4.6± 0.7 mm) respectively.…”

Introduction: The popliteal artery is the branches off from the femoral artery. It is located in the knee towards the back of the legs. The clinicians and radiologists dealing with the popliteal area use description of branching pattern of the popliteal artery, in which it first gives rise to anterior tibial artery followed by the tibial peroneal trunk, which then terminates by dividing into the posterior tibial and peroneal arteries. As popliteal artery is one of the most common sites for aneurysm formation, the knowledge of the normal popliteal artery diameter is essential to determine the relevance of popliteal dilatations. Objective: Considering the clinical importance of diameter of popliteal artery, this study was undertaken to note the internal diameter of popliteal artery. Subjects and Methods: The present study was conducted on 50 specimen embedded in 10% formalin from the department of Anatomy of tertiary care hospital & medical college. Cadavers which had gross pathological deformities in its lower limbs were excluded from the study. All the cadavers were adult males and females. Results: This study states right popliteal arteries are slightly larger (4.9 ± 0.7 mm) as compare to left popliteal artery (4.8± 0.5 mm). This study also reconfirm popliteal arteries of men are slightly larger than that of female (4.9 ± 0.7 mm), (4.6± 0.9 mm) and left popliteal artery (4.8± 0.5 mm), (4.6± 0.7 mm) respectively. On the other hand terminal part its diameter is slightly larger in male (4.5 ± 0.6 mm) as compare to female (4.3 ± 0.5 mm). This study also shows terminal end of left popliteal arteries (3.8 ± 0.7 mm) are smaller than right popliteal arteries (4.3 ± 0.5 mm). Conclusion: The present study was done in a small cadaveric sample. In our prospective different live and cadaveric study will be helpful for vascular surgeons, radiologists. The variation in the measurement of our study compare to other study may be due to the difference in live and cadaveric spacemen or due to the method of measurement. Therefore, we suggest before making any decision study on much larger sample should be consider.

“…Popliteal artery is having considerable importance in various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the world of healthcare such as bypass surgery, transluminal angioplasty and sub intimal angioplasty. Popliteal aneurismal and vascular injuries proceeded to be extremely dangerous leads to high percentage of leg amputations 11,12 Various researchers like Thomas Sandgren et al 13 Zuhal et al 14 Morris-stiff et al 15 and Debasso et al 16 measured the mean diameter of the popliteal artery was 7.4 mm ± 0.9., 7.5 mm ±1.3, 7.4 ± 1.3 mm and 7.4 mm respectively in their study. This was the higher value in comparison to our study.…”

Introduction: Femoral artery proceeds as a popliteal artery from the osseo-aponeurotic opening of the adductor magnus to the caudal margin of the popliteal muscle. It passes through the adductor canal, the adductor hiatus then through the popliteal fossa ends at the lower margin of the popliteal muscle, in further course it divided into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Popliteal aneurysm i.e. abnormal dilation of the whole or part of the popliteal artery causes edema and pain in the popliteal fossa. The popliteal artery serves as bypass grafts in specific location i.e. above or below-knee. It is also often affected by penetrating and blunt trauma of the lower limb. As a consequence, the exposure of this artery is frequently and needed exploration of either in emergency or in elective vascular procedures. Material and Method:The present Study was carried out in the department of anatomy at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in Collaboration with department of anatomy and Datta Meghe Medical College, Nagpur Maharashtra. Total 102 lower limbs of 51 cadavers were included in the study. Observation and Results:In males the mean diameter of popliteal artery at it origin is 6.7 ± 0.7mm on right and 6.6 ± 0.6 mm on left respectively, whereas in females the mean diameter on right is noted as 6.4 ± 0.5 mm and on left it is 6.2 ± 0.3mm. At proximal to termination the mean diameter of popliteal artery in males is observed to be 6.9 ± 0.7mm on right and 6.8 ± 0.7mm on left, while in females it is noted to be 6.6 ± 0.5mm on right and 6.4 ± 0.4mm on left respectively. Conclusion:To conclude the data from the present study is useful for the vascular surgeons, radiologists.

“…Previous research already reported that collateral geniculate arteries exist and can cause sac growth in excluded PAA but also prevent lower limb ischemia in case of an occlusion. 35,36 There are a number of limitations to this study, including the retrospective design and the relatively small sample size. Only patients both treated and followed up in our vascular center were included in this study.…”
