"I believe the totality of evidence indicates utility of ultrasound guidance as an adjunct to well-developed classical skills in femoral artery access," he commented.

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 ...

“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 ...
