Fig. 5C —35-year-old man after placement of popliteal
artery-to-anterior tibial artery vein graft for treatment of claudication
resulting from popliteal artery stenosis. Follow-up MR angiography (MRA) was
performed at 1.5 T using 30 mL of gadolinium contrast agent. Contrast-enhanced
axial fat-suppressed T1-weighted image confirms evidence of type III popliteal
artery entrapment on left. During dorsiflexion of foot, popliteal artery is
compressed by slip of medial head of gastrocnemius muscle (curved
arrow) originating more laterally than normal.
