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.

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 preferred revascularization strategy for symptomatic common femoral artery stenosis is unknown. Common femoral endarterectomy has been the preferred treatment for many years, with proponents ...

Results —Complete bilateral ultrasound examinations were performed within 90 days of the initial scan in 386 patients. In the presence of a contralateral severe (70% to 99%) ICA stenosis, the PSV in ...

Conclusion: Improved ultrasound techniques and the examiner’s experience contribute to improving renal artery stenosis diagnosis in children. In particular, localized sensitive blood flow velocity ...

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 ...

Figure 1. CCA, common carotid artery at 20 to 30 mm of the carotid bifurcation; SCA, subclavian artery at 25 to 35 cm from the start of the SCA; CFA, common femoral artery at 15 to 25 mm of the common ...

Femoral arteriography revealed marked stenosis in the midportion of the saphenous-vein graft (Fig. 1, Case 4). The graft was explored under general anesthesia, and stenosis found at the ...

Applying ultrasound to help break up thrombus during carotid endarterectomy reduces adverse neurological outcomes in the first 30 days after surgery in patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic ...

Results —Complete bilateral ultrasound examinations were performed within 90 days of the initial scan in 386 patients. In the presence of a contralateral severe (70% to 99%) ICA stenosis, the PSV in ...
