“…Not even studies with a lower prevalence of the pattern IA presented values as expressive as this study, such as Mavili et al in 2011, which found 84.4% for the common pattern and 5.4% for trifurcation [9]. Probably, this is due to the patterns of category II of Kim et al [6], high tibiofibular division of the popliteal artery branch, which is representative in the literature [6,8,9,14,16,23]. In some cases, it exceeds trifurcation, 4.5% for the high division and 3.2% for trifurcation (Day & Orme, 2006) [10].…”
