Abstract
The lower extremity peripheral arterial anatomy is represented in Figs. 8.1 and 8.2. The distal aorta bifurcates into the common iliac arteries (CIA). The CIAs bifurcate into the internal iliac artery and the external iliac artery, which then become the common femoral artery (CFA). The CIAs usually course anterior to the iliopsoas muscle but may run posterior to it. This normal variant should be noted.
