27
Q

Applied/Clinical
•Access to the Femoral Artery
•The femoral artery is located (superficially or deep?) within the femoral triangle, and is thus easy to access.

This makes it suitable for a range of clinical procedures. One such procedure is coronary angiography. Here, the femoral artery is _______ with a ___ tube. This tube is navigated up the ______ artery, ______ artery, ___ , and into the coronary vessels. A radio-opaque dye is then injected into the coronary vessels, and any wall thickening or blockages can be visualised via x-ray.

A

Superficially

catheterised

external iliac; common iliac

aorta
