The Feasibility of Popliteal Vein Anterior Puncture in Supine Position: A View of Clinical Applied Anatomy

The projected angle was left or right anterior oblique, and the lateral edge of the tibia overlapped the medial edge of the popliteal vein. The puncture angle should be as medial as possible.Clinical ImpactIn this study, the anatomical type, diameter and intersection position of popliteal vein through popliteal fossa were observed to determine the appropriate approach position and angle of popliteal vein puncture in supine position to provide experience for the future treatment of deep venous thrombosis.Based on this theory, a small follow-up clinical trial was conducted to confirm the safety of this method.
