Fluoroscopic-Guided Micropuncture Technique for Common Femoral Artery Access

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Catheter Related Complication

In brief

The main objective of this proposed study is to examine if oblique projection (20- degrees right anterior oblique (RAO) for right femoral artery access or 20-degree left anterior oblique (LAO) for left femoral artery access) is superior to anterior projection (AP) for femoral artery access in zone 2-4 and thereby resulting in lower risk of access related complications.
