Selected
distal lesion
This concerns angiographic findings for the femoropopliteal axis (femoral and popliteal arteries) and the fibular and posterior tibial arteries.
No lesions were found in the femoropopliteal axis: 'goede femoropopliteale as'
met een distaliteit over de fibularis en tibialis -- with a distal lesion in the fibular and posterior tibial arteries
'distaliteit' --> doctor's lingo
... een goede femoropopliteale as met een distaliteit over de fibularis en tibialis posterior.
... patent femoropopliteal axis with a distal lesion in the fibular and posterior tibial arteries.
See D-box
Diagnostic angiography demonstrated a patent femoropopliteal axis and single-vessel outflow (fibular artery). Collateral filling of the distal anterior tibial artery and the plantar artery was seen (Figure 3A through 3C). A small proximal stump of the anterior tibial artery was present.

Dutch term (edited):
met een distaliteit over
extending distally over
If it were my translation, I would have more text in front of me. This is a best guess answer:
The femoropopliteal axis is a section of the circulatory system of the lower half of the body. See the sketch here:
http://tinyurl.com/jj3ht9r
The posterior fibularis and tibialis are muscles in the foot. See the sketch here:
https://www.dartmouth.edu/~humananatomy/figures/chapter_17/1...
The text speaks of a good femoropopliteal axis and so there is no reason to suspect they are talking about a lesion of any kind (which in this case would be an aneurysm).
I think it is just simply describing the relative positions of the muscles and the blood vessels in the part of the body being examined and in English, I think we would say "extending distally over". But this is not a question in cardiology - more in orthopaedic or trauma surgery. Nonetheless, my best guess is the one I have supplied. If possible, check it with an expert.

The text you have supplied does not in any way indicate the presence of a lesion. As I said, if it was my translation, I would have had a lot more text in front of me. I trust the text you are looking at supports your choice but you would be wise to check this very carefully with the client. To swear up and down that this is about cardiology when it isn't is dangerous. A good translator admits if something is outside of his or her expertise and recommends getting a truly expert opinion if uncertain in any way. People's lives are at stake here. This is not a game about winning points.

Note from asker:
| This was my intial guess too but 'distal lesion' does seem to make more sense in the context. I will ask the client to verify. And yes, this is a vascular surgery question but that was't an option... since most of cardiology is vascular surgery I figured this was the best available classification... Thanks for your help! |

I don't have the time to debate this with you. Asker can look into the facts herself. I have given her a handle.

Distal/distality
Distal: The more (or most) distant of two (or more) things. For example, the distal end of the femur (the thigh bone) is the end down by the knee; the end more distant from the torso.
Discussion
See the image on this page: http://www.yoursurgery.com/ProcedureDetails.cfm?BR=1&Proc=33...
We are talking angiography here.
You mention a number of things that are incorrect:
1) we are not talking about the muscles of the foot but about the fibular en tibial posterior arteries (arteria fibularis en arteria tibialis posterior)
2) 'which in this case would be an aneurysm' This is really a bizarre claim, sorry to say so. Obviously there can be all kinds of lesions in the femoropopliteal axis. As an example:
PTA is an effective strategy for treating atherosclerosis of the femoropopliteal axis (FPA).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24239203
3) I am not talking about a lesion in the femoropopliteal axis; I am talking about a patent (doorgankelijke, goede, niet vernauwde) femoropopliteal axis
