Femoral access refers to the technique of gaining entry into the vascular system via the femoral artery, typically located in the groin area. It is commonly used in various medical procedures, such as cardiac catheterization and interventional radiology, to facilitate the delivery of instruments or contrast agents. This approach allows for direct access to the central circulation and is favored for its relatively large vessel size, which can accommodate various tools for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. However, it also carries risks, including bleeding and infection at the access site.
The femoral artery.
deep femoral and femoral circumflex
Femoral nerve
The common femoral vein is medial to the common femoral artery. The common femoral artery lies farther from the body's midline.
There is femoral triangle, through which femoral vein, femoral artery and femoral nerve passes down to thigh. Femoral hernia passes through the femoral triangle. It passes through complicated path and is almost always very difficult to reduce. It is common in females and usually demands surgical interferences.

A catheter may be inserted in the right femoral vein for various medical procedures, such as venous access for fluid administration, medication delivery, or diagnostic studies like venography. The femoral vein provides a large and accessible route for catheterization, especially in emergency situations. Additionally, it can be used for interventions such as angioplasty or stent placement in the lower extremities. In some cases, the right femoral approach is preferred for certain cardiac procedures due to anatomical considerations.
