Chapter 33 Teaching Visual: Peripheral Vascular Reconstruction Thomas G. Lynch, MD Objectives Draw the important vascular anatomy of the lower extremity. Diagram a vascular bypass for your patient. Medical Knowledge Anatomy The aorta divides into the common iliac arteries, and these divide into the external and internal iliac arteries. The external iliac artery continues under the inguinal ligament as the common femoral artery, which divides into the superficial femoral and deep femoral (profunda femoris) arteries. The profunda femoris artery usually arises 3 to 4cm below the inguinal ligament from the lateral border of the artery and gives rise to several branches, which anastomose with branches of the internal iliac artery to provide collateral circulation in the presence of external iliac artery occlusion. The superficial femoral artery (SFA) extends downward through the thigh, where it becomes the popliteal artery after it exits the lower boundary of the adductor canal through the adductor hiatus. Below the knee, the popliteal artery becomes the tibioperoneal trunk after the takeoff of the anterior tibial artery. The tibioperoneal trunk bifurcates to form the posterior tibial and the peroneal arteries. Only gold members can continue reading.
