A synthetic graft remains open in 33 to 50 out of 100 people 5 years after Popliteal bypass surgery was carried out, whereas using veins, the bypass remains unobstructed in 66 out of 100 people. [12] Moreover, the particular vein, great saphenous vein was shown to be more durable over the years after surgery. [5]
In the legs, bypass grafting is used to treat peripheral vascular disease, acute limb ischemia, aneurysms and trauma.While there are many anatomical arrangements for vascular bypass grafts in the lower extremities depending on the location of the disease, the principle is the same: to restore blood flow to an area without normal flow.
A plantarflexion force of 0 to 70 percent maximum has been shown to maximize the sensitivity and specificity for PAES diagnosis. [25] The DU can be a quick, inexpensive, and noninvasive initial screening for PAES. Flow velocities in the popliteal artery will increase, as the popliteal artery is compressed, which is reflected on the DU.
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.

The common fibular nerve is the smaller terminal branch of the sciatic nerve. The common fibular nerve has root values of L4, L5, S1, and S2. It arises from the superior angle of the popliteal fossa and extends to the lateral angle of the popliteal fossa, along the medial border of the biceps femoris.
