BOSTON, MA—Ultrasound guidance for femoral access does not appear to reduce bleeding or vascular complications but does reduce the risk of venipuncture and lowers the number of arterial puncture ...

The femoral artery is one of the major arteries in the human body. Its primary function is to supply blood to the lower section of the body.

Imaging the femoral arteries may provide clinicians with a simpler way of assessing patients’ future risk of cardiovascular disease, a new study suggests. Compared with atherosclerotic plaques located ...

Use of ultrasound guidance may provide reproducible femoral positioning of the anterolateral graft posterior and proximal to the lateral epicondyle compared with the use of palpation alone ...

This article describes an easier means to identify the LFCN using ultrasound and also discusses its anatomical variations.

An ultrasound study was performed to formulate and validate guidelines for femoral venous catheterization. 36 infants (2 wk to 20 mo) were evaluated in a supine, straight leg position.

“With multivessel ultrasound, we examine the carotid and femoral arteries with the abdominal aorta, as dilatation in this region is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

The lateral femoral circumflex artery supplies oxygenated blood to the anterior (front) and middle portions of the thigh muscles. It typically branches off from the deep femoral artery, although ...

A 3-D vascular ultrasound detected elevated plaque burden in middle-aged men, especially within the femoral territory, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of ...

Toolbox: Iliac Artery Blockage By Victor Lun On Jul 1, 2014 Artery narrowing is very uncommon in other-wise healthy young people. However, male cyclists were probably the first competitive athletes to ...

The femoral artery is responsible for carrying blood from the heart down to each leg The underlying cause of EIAE in cyclists is presumed to be the prolonged and repetitive flexion and extension ...
