Dec 9, 2017 · High-quality aortoiliofemoral CT angiography can be obtained with a technical success rate of >90% using 10 to 15 ml of contrast injected via a catheter in the abdominal aorta, and offers an alternative to conventional X-ray or CT angiography with high-volume intravenous contrast injection.

After confirming normal arterial waveform and pressure, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the contralateral iliofemoral system is performed using a large field of view (typically 42 cm) with the image intensifier angulated at 30° contralaterally (right anterior oblique for the left iliofemoral system and left anterior oblique for the righ...

Mar 13, 2024 · In this review, we aim to: (1) Examine the evolving definitions of bleeding and vascular complications; (2) Review best practices for transradial and transfemoral access and closure, including for large bore procedures; and (3) Highlight knowledge gaps and proposed areas of clinical research pertaining to vascular access which may inform clinica...

Oct 1, 2020 · A peripheral angiogram revealed complete total occlusion (CTO) of the left external iliac artery (EIA) and reconstitution at the common femoral artery (CFA). Therefore, using the left CFA, a 6 French sheath was inserted using US guidance and micropuncture technique.

An iliofemoral angiogram may be performed through the microcatheter dilator, typically at 30 degree ipsilateral angulation, to confirm the location of the arteriotomy. If the access site is not felt to be appropriate, the dilator may then be removed …

Anatomical landmarks to maximize CFA access include finding the anterior superior iliac spine laterally and the symphysis pubis as a landmark for the inguinal ligament and obtaining access 2–3 centimeters below the midpoint between these landmarks.

Femoral access remains a vital route for many cardiac and non-cardiac procedures, including those involving the use of large delivery systems. In the common femoral artery access is extremely important to minimise complications and optimise use of closure devices.

Patients sent to the cardiac catheterisation laboratory (CCL) for TAVI workup require a systematic and thorough approach. This can include iliofemoral angiography, aortography, aortic valve crossing, haemodynamic evaluation, coronary angiography and right heart catheterisation.

To verify adequate hemostasis, contralateral access was obtained in the right FA, and ipsilateral iliofemoral angiography was performed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and had no apparent complications when he left the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
