Fig. 1 Exposure of popliteal and proximal crural arteries through posterior approach. Two heads of gastrocnemius muscle are separated and soleus muscle is lysed from its tibial origin.

Fig. 2 Exposure of posterior tibial artery through posterior approach. Tendo calcaneus is retracted laterally. Flexor digitorum longus muscle is reflected medially in lower portion of calf, because artery lies posterior to lateral border of this muscle near level of malleoli.

Fig. 3 Exposure of peroneal artery through posterior approach. Tendo calcaneus is retracted medially and flexor hallucis longus muscle is reflected laterally to expose artery in groove next to fibula.

Fig. 4 Kaplan-Meier curves of primary graft patency and limb salvage in 21 patients undergoing lesser saphenous vein popliteal-crural reconstruction through posterior approach. Numbers at bottom of graph represent number of patients remaining at risk at specific follow-up intervals.
