In the study of 6,007 people carried out popliteal bypass surgery, the overall rate of morbidity and mortality was 36.8% and 2.3% respectively within 30 days post-surgery. [14] However, there are variations in studies of mortality as one particular study did not find any person deaths. [ 14 ]
The popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is an uncommon pathology that occurs when the popliteal artery is compressed by the surrounding popliteal fossa myofascial structures. [1] This results in claudication and chronic leg ischemia .
The others lie at the sides of the popliteal vessels, and receive, as efferents, the trunks that accompany the anterior and posterior tibial vessels. [ 2 ] The efferents of the popliteal lymph nodes pass almost entirely alongside the femoral vessels to the deep inguinal lymph nodes , but a few may accompany the great saphenous vein , and end in ...

A popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) is a bulging of the popliteal artery. [1] A PAA is diagnosed when a focal dilation greater than 50% of the normal vessel diameter is found (the normal diameter of a popliteal artery is 0.7-1.1 cm). PAAs are the most common aneurysm of the peripheral vascular system, accounting for 85% of all cases.
The popliteal artery is a deeply placed continuation of the femoral artery opening in the distal portion of the adductor magnus muscle. It courses through the popliteal fossa and ends at the lower border of the popliteus muscle , where it branches into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries.
