You've been given the task of inserting the catheter for a
patient scheduled for angioplasty. What anatomical
landmarks are you looking for?
Answer / Pradeep Kumar Ghosh
When inserting a catheter for angioplasty, the common femoral artery is typically accessed. The landmarks include the inguinal ligament (an imaginary line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle), the pulsation of the femoral artery just below the inguinal ligament, and the location of the femoral pulse in the groin.
