Abstract
To define diameter at three levels along the popliteal artery and its relation to the inflow arteries in the normal state and in popliteal aneurysms. The external diameter of the arteries was determined by duplex ultrasound scanning at the common femoral (CFA), superficial femoral artery (SFA), proximal popliteal artery (PPOP), mid-popliteal artery (MPOP), and distal popliteal artery (DPOP). Examinations were performed in 104 healthy men and 100 women. In addition, patients were screened for the presence of popliteal aneurysms (diameter >10 mm). Findings in healthy male subjects were compared with those with popliteal aneurysms. Mean arterial diameters in normal men were larger than in women, but the SFA/CFA ratio was smaller in women (0.74 +/- 0.08 vs 0.78 +/- 0.09; P < .001) and the MPOP/SFA ratio was larger (0.98 +/- 0.11 vs 0.94 +/- 0.12; P = .001). In both genders, normal popliteal artery diameter was not uniform throughout its length, with PPOP and MPOP being nearly identical, and DPOP was smaller. MPOP diameter correlated most closely with SFA diameter (r = 0.51; P < .001) and less with height, weight and body surface area (r = 0.2 to 0.3) and was not associated with age or the presence of hypertension. In 27 men with 45...Continue Reading
