Abstract: Popliteal artery morphology changes while undergoing knee motion. A main flexion (i.e., the ‘hinge point’) and other flexions (termed ‘accessory flexions’) were described as a result of popliteal artery adaptation to knee flexion....

Abstract: Implantation of two or more adjacent-sequential stents is frequently required during coronary interventions, especially when treating long lesions.  We present two cases illustrating that plain fluoroscopic imaging may be misleading...
