Palpatory method – good, but not good enough! “Strongest femoral pulse” • Projected over CFA in 92. 7% limbs (BR J Radiol 1990; 63: 602 -604) • Weak in shock; some obese and PAD pts Wake. Med Health & Hospitals Raleigh, North Carolina
Seeing is powerful to achieve goal/target
Hope vs reality – try this with your eyes closed

Special Cases: Obese patients
Outline o Search for target o Confirm target – artery, not vein lymph node, or anything else! o Hit target Wake. Med Health & Hospitals Raleigh, North Carolina
Please, no collateral damage (“friendly” fire)
Please, no collateral damage (“friendly” fire) X Target is Femoral artery (CFA)

Our mental picture is FICTIONAL Myth of CFA predictability Below IEA loop Above bifurc Pitta SR, Prasad A, Kumar G, Holmes DR. CCI ‘ 11; 78: 294 -299
LOW retroperitoneal border! Wake. Med Health & Hospitals Raleigh, North Carolina
HIGH femoral bifurcation! Wake. Med Health & Hospitals Raleigh, North Carolina
Variable inguinal boundaries (inf epig artery) Hope vs Reality Paul Jacques, MD (UNC VIR)
Variable inguinal boundaries (inf epig artery) The peritoneal boundary: 1. Variable 2. Can’t be seen 3. Imprecise correlation to landmarks (crease, ligament, arteries) Paul Jacques, MD (UNC VIR)
Reboot your brain “ “
Main Goal is not just CFA: Sheath entering just above femoral bifurcation X
More is at stake now: Large devices
A more anti-coagulated world and Higher risk Patients: Age + CKD + CHF + PVD Etc, etc Circulation 2009; 119: 1873 -1882 Wake. Med Health & Hospitals Raleigh, North Carolina
