A 65-Year-Old Man Presented to the Emergency Department Due to Severe

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
C) Just inferolateral to the pubic tubercle
D) Just superior to the inguinal ligament
E) Over the lateral aspect of the foot
