Angio-Guidewire-Ultrasound (AGU) Guidance for Femoral Access in Procedures Requiring Large Sheaths

01/29/2019

We report an original technique for femoral access integrating angiographic, guidewire, and ultrasound (AGU) guidance, working together to obtain the best femoral artery stick.

We report an original technique...

Cannulating the radial artery can be one of the most challenging aspects of the radial approach. Ultrasound-guided vascular access may be a method to improve first-attempt success rates and shorten time to radial artery access.

Cannulating the radial artery...
