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 ...

BOSTON — Ultrasound-guided femoral access improved first attempt success in coronary procedures but did not reduce the occurrence of major bleeding and vascular complications vs. fluoroscopy ...

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 ...

Because the CSA of the LFCN is so small that the trace function on the ultrasound device is unable to trace the nerve, the CSA was calculated from an area formula for ovals (CSA= Pi * A * B *1/4 ...

The nerve block can be performed using ultrasound to locate the femoral nerve, then inserting a catheter to deliver the pain medication, a relatively recent development that increase the procedure’s ...
