The anterior tibial artery is an artery of the leg. It carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery.

Structure
Back of left lower extremity, showing origin of anterior tibial artery before it continues on the anterior side.
Course
The anterior tibial artery is a branch of the popliteal artery.[1] It originates at the distal end of the popliteus muscle posterior to the tibia. The artery typically passes anterior to the popliteus muscle prior to passing between the tibia and fibula through an oval opening at the superior aspect of the interosseus membrane. The artery then descends between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
It is accompanied by the anterior tibial vein, and the deep peroneal nerve, along its course.
It crosses the anterior aspect of the ankle joint, at which point it becomes the dorsalis pedis artery.
Branches
The branches of the anterior tibial artery are:
posterior tibial recurrent artery
anterior tibial recurrent artery
muscular branches
anterior medial malleolar artery
anterior lateral malleolar artery
dorsalis pedis artery[1]
Clinical significance
As the artery passes medial to the fibular neck, it becomes vulnerable to damage during a tibial osteotomy.

One-Year Outcomes Following Directional Atherectomy of Infrapopliteal Artery Lesions: Subgroup Results of the Prospective, Multicenter DEFINITIVE LE Trial.
Journal of endovascular therapy : an official journal of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists.J Endovasc Ther.2015 Dec;22(6):839-46. doi: 10.1177/1526602815608610. Epub 2015 Oct 7.
PURPOSE: To report a subgroup analysis of the prospective, multicenter, single-arm DEFINITIVE LE trial to assess the effectiveness of directional atherectomy for the treatment of infrapopliteal artery lesions at 1 year.METHODS: In the DEFINITIVE LE trial, follow-up assessments occurred up to 1 year

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of complex infrapopliteal lesions might be a true and complex challenge. Success rates remain suboptimal when employing standard approaches. Thus, recanalization techniques for infrapopliteal disease remain a seat of continuous evolution.AIM OF THE S

OBJECTIVES: To describe the hydrodynamic boost (HB) technique and report our preliminary results with this technique in the subintimal angioplasty of below-the-knee vessels.METHODS: HB was used in 23 cases (14 males, mean age 73 ± 12 years) of critical limb ischemia, with long chronic total oc
