Good morning/afternoon!
This is in the findings of a peripheral angiography.
I think this refers to the genicular arteries in the legs. Could it be that "infragenicular" refers to the group of genicular arteries?
Context:
En infragéniculé, les trois vaisseaux sont perméables.
The other confusing element is that there are six genicular arteries, so I'm not sure what the "three" refers to. Unless the "infra" in "infragéniculé" specifies three of the geniculars in particular?
Thanks for any light someone may be able to shed on this for me!

angiography of the anterior tibial, posterior tibial and peroneal arteries
These are three main 'infragenicular' arteries, i.e. those below the knee that supply the lower leg. I think it is likely that 'infragenicular' refers to these main arteries rather than the arteries around the knee joint.

Comment: "Thanks for your help on this question Sue! I stuck close to the source text on this: "The three vessels below the knee are patent. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to leave your answer as is or edit it to match the specific term in the question more closely. "
