Segments of arterial tree from infrarenal aorta to peripheral arteries. Contrast-enhanced MRA of the infra-renal aorta down to the lower leg arteries in a patient with a subtotal stenosis in the right common iliac artery. For each patient, mean and maximal stenosis class were obtained by dividing the arterial tree into 27 segments: the infrarenal aorta (1), common iliac arteries (2 +3), external iliac arteries (4 +5), common femoral arteries (6 +7), superficial femoral arteries (8 +9), popliteal arteries in the thigh station (10 +11), popliteal arteries in the calf station (12 +13), tibiofibular trunk (14 +15), and the proximal (16-21) and distal (22-27) halves of the anterior and posterior tibial arteries and peroneal arteries.
