For 18 patients, the central point of femoral veins lay 5.3mm medial to the central point of the artery. Hypothetical success in catheterization of the other 18 patients was evaluated by assuming ...

Anthony A. Bavry, M.D., M.P.H. Intensive care unit patients who required acute renal replacement therapy were randomized to catheterization in the jugular vein (n = 375) or the femoral vein (n = 375).

A transradial approach for cerebral angiography was less effective than the transfemoral route in achieving an accurate diagnostic success rate.

Jugular vein catheters are thought to be less prone to infection than femoral vein catheters, but evidence from randomized trials has been lacking. Now, results of the Cathedia study in France ...

Overall complication rates were similar to those seen with transfemoral access, however, and patients liked it better.
