Understanding Cardiac Anatomy and Imaging to Improve Safety of Procedures
We revisit and show comprehensive femoral access site anatomy with a combination of images obtained from detailed cadaveric dissection, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, ultrasound, and 3-dimensional printings. Part 1 focuses on the femoral triangle, femoral bifurcation, fluoroscopic and/or ultrasonographic anatomy, and branches of the femoral artery. Profound understanding of this region is fundamental to facilitate safe procedures and to avoid unnecessary complications.
