Popliteal artery branching variations on computed tomography angiography of 1542 lower limbs and its associated factors

Abstract: Background The identification of popliteal artery branching variation is of anatomical importance for surgical and endovascular procedures in the posterior region of the knee and below. Purpose To evaluate the variations and associated factors of popliteal artery branching by computed tomography angiography (CTA). Material and Methods CTA of the lower extremities of 1542 lower limbs in 771 patients (513 men and 258 women) were retrospectively reviewed to assess the popliteal artery branching patterns. The pati… Show more

“…Adachi (1928) 10 analyzed adult specimens and defined trifurcation if the common trunk following the origin of the first branch was less than or equal to 0.5 cm in length, finding 0.8% cases of trifurcation. Kim (1989) 5 and Arayapithak (2023) 11 estimated a 2% frequency applying Adachi's rule but they analyzed angiograms. It is noteworthy that gender plays a significant role in branching variation.…”

“…It is noteworthy that gender plays a significant role in branching variation. 11 Morris (1960) 12 proposed a broader criterion for trifurcation, encompassing cases where the TFT is shorter than 1 cm (5.8%). This more practical classification may be preferable for vascular surgeons, although Adachi's criteria are anatomi-cally precise.…”
