The researchers found that the ultrasound group had a shorter time taken for attempted femoral artery cannulation (P = 0.012) and a lower number of attempts (P = 0.003) than the palpation group.

However, ultrasound bumped the success rate from 69.8% to 82.6% for patients with a high bifurcation of the femoral artery.

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 ...

Our study suggested an easier method for identifying the LFCN in volunteers using the ultrasound technique. There have been several reports about the ultrasonographic appearance of the LFCN. [10 ...

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 ...

“Assessment of femoral plaques with vascular ultrasound is an appealing strategy for predicting future coronary events and a potential tool for improving patient stratification to achieve more ...

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 ...

The patient was operated on with the diagnosis of arterial pseudoaneurysm. Doppler ultrasound examination performed under anaesthesia was normal. The superficial femoral artery from the common femoral ...
