The popliteal artery is the deepest vascular structure of the popliteal fosa, running closely to the knee’s capsule. For the complete course of the poplieal artery and its branches, take a look below:
Most popliteal artery diseases cause leg pain or heaviness when you’re walking or physically active. The pain, cramps and heaviness go away when you rest. Healthcare providers call this condition intermittent claudication.
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 popliteal artery is the direct continuation of the superficial femoral artery, at the point where it exits the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus, and passes into the popliteal fossa as the vessel courses posteriorly behind the knee.
A popliteal artery aneurysm is an irregular bulge that occurs in the wall of the artery located behind the knee joint. It is a type of lower extremity aneurysm.
Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is an uncommon condition that affects the main artery behind the knee. That artery is called the popliteal artery. In this condition, the calf muscle is in the wrong position or it's larger than usual.
The popliteal artery, found in the popliteal fossa, is the primary supply of blood to the distal lower extremity. The external iliac artery is the major artery responsible for blood supply to the lower extremities.
The popliteal artery branches off from the femoral artery. It is located in the knee and the back of the leg. Its courses near the adductor canal and the adductor hiatus, distinctive open areas...
The popliteal artery is a continuation of the femoral artery and is the main blood vessel supplying the knee region and lower leg. It is an essential artery that provides oxygenated blood to the structures in the posterior region of the knee and beyond. Location The popliteal artery begins at the adductor hiatus, a gap
The popliteal artery gives off genicular arteries within the popliteal fossa. These are the superior genicular arteries (lateral and medial), middle genicular artery, and the inferior genicular arteries (lateral and medial).
