Central venous catheterization into the femoral vein

Abstract

A central venous catheter (CVC) is usually placed to replace the spilled blood volume or inject a vasopressor. Among central catheterizations, the anatomy of the femoral vessel is lesser complex than that of others, and femoral venous catheterization is most easily cannulated percutaneously. However, endovascular training should be considered to complete the deployment of the central catheter and prevent complications systematically. Therefore, this study aimed to share the precise CVC procedure in the femoral vein and to impart endovascular techniques through simulation video clips and pictures.
