Anomalies of the arterial tree that coexist with arteriovenous malformations in the lower extremity.

Abstract

Several previous reports have documented arteriovenous malformations associated with anomalies of the arterial tree. We report two cases in which a malformation on the foot coexisted with arterial variants of the popliteal artery. Careful therapeutic planning was required to avoid jeopardising perfusion to the distal area.
