A member asked:
Can arterial occlusion near the knee cause a vein or tributary to stick out slightly above the achilles tendon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If there is a : Problem with the artery being occluded I would imagine you would have some sort of pain. Conclusions in arteries are not good. A occlusion in an artery would not cause your vein to bulge if anything if the occlusion was a clot the artery itself might be a little thicker.
