Question 19

Multiple Choice

A 65-year-old man presented to the emergency department due to severe chest pain in the morning. The patient is a known case of coronary artery disease and has done percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before. On examination, his blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg, and pulse is 90/min. ECG was done and showed ST elevation in the anterior leads, so he was referred for a PCI. The PCI failed, so a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was decided to be done. During the surgery, the short saphenous vein is used as a bypass. How we can access the short vein?


A) At the midline of the popliteal fossa
B) Just inferior to the anterior superior iliac spine
