Spanish term or phrase: ambiguities?

Aportaba un estudio arteriográfico que evidenciaba vasos sanos ****hasta arterias poplíteas con ausencia de vasos distales y con circulación colateral característica (en tirabuzón o sacacorchos) de Enf. de Buerger.

How could the hasta be translated? Is it 'as far as' or 'to'?

Is there any comma missing? I can't quite figure out this sentence. I suspect that teh original is poor, although i am unwilling to inists on it.

This is what i've got so far:

An arteriographic study was carried out which showed healthy vessels ****to the/as far as the popliteal arteries, with the absence of distal vessels and with the characteristic collateral circulation (corkscrew) of Buerger's disease.

Explanation:
Ailish,
What it means is that the arterial flow was OK up to the level of the popliteal arteries. These arteries are in the back of the knees. The flow, as you know, comes down from the femoral arteries and the illiac arteries, which in turn receive the flow from the aorta.

Beyond the popliteal arteries, this pt. had severe compromise of its vessels, because of the Buerger's disease.

Good luck
Elena
