The perils of femoral vein catheterization

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2009
A 69-year-old patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for haemofiltration following an overdose of lithium carbonate. A venous haemofiltration catheter was passed 4 cm below the inguinal ligament, 1 cm medial to the femoral artery pulsation, into the femoral vein.

Great Mediastinal Vein Reconstruction Using Autologous Superficial Femoral Vein Superficial Femoral Vein Graft

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2008
Great mediastinal veins may be reconstructed using autologous, synthetic, or allograft conduits. Autologous conduits have been found superior to other conduit options. The superficial femoral vein (SFV) offers excellent early patency, minimal lower limb morbidity, and ease of harvest without accessory suture lines.

Leiomyosarcoma of Iliac and Femoral Veins

Archives of Surgery, 1965
ONLY 26 CASES of primary malignant tumors of veins have thus far been reported. Twenty-one of these were leiomyosarcomas, only seven of which originated outside the inferior vena cava: one in the left colic vein, 3,6 three in the femoral vein, 4,5,7 two in the internal jugular vein, 1,7 and one in the long saphenous vein.

Stent Extension Below the Common Femoral Vein in Extensive Chronic Iliofemoral Venous Obstructions

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2018
Purpose: To analyze whether primary venous stent placement into 1 dominant inflow vein peripheral to the common femoral vein (CFV) confluence is feasible.

Femoral vein cannulation: A review

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1985
The femoral vein is an excellent potential venous access site. The technique of cannulation is described and its applications and complications are reviewed. More extensive future use of this technique is necessary to determine its proper role in emergency medicine.

Femoral vein access

Operative Techniques in General Surgery, 2001
A ccess to the central venous system can be readily achieved by percutaneous puncture of the jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein. Although the femoral vein can be easily found in most patients, many physicians are more familiar with approaches to the jugular or the subclavian vein.

Comparison of Subdavian Vein With Femoral Vein Catheterization for Hemodialysis

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1983
Subclavian vein catheterization (SVC) is not widely accepted for vascular access because it is considered more invasive than femoral vein catheterization (FVC). The use of FVC and SVC for acute vascular access was compared for 9 mo each. Complications were minimal with both, but access related hospitalizations were lower and the number of out-patient ...

In situ Femoral to Popliteal Bypass Graft Using Superficial Femoral Vein to Popliteal Vein

The American Surgeon, 2004
During the evolution of vascular surgery as a specialty, many conduits have been used to revascularize the lower extremities. Superficial veins and prosthetic materials make up the majority of materials used to bypass diseased segments of native artery. The deep veins of the thigh have also been reported as alternatives for arterial bypass.

Use of a Superficial Femoral Artery Autograft as a Femoral Vein Replacement

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2015
Posttraumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are common complications of vascular penetrating trauma. Here we present a case of a 59-year-old woman who had a history of gunshot injury 42 years ago causing AVF between superficial femoral artery (SFA) and superficial femoral vein (SFV). SFV was resected. Ipsilateral SFA was used to restore SFV.

Leiomyosarcoma of the femoral vein.

Canadian Association of Radiologists journal = Journal l'Association canadienne des radiologistes, 1992
Soft-tissue masses uncommonly completely occlude or engulf a major vessel. Complete occlusion of a major vein suggests that the mass originates in the wall of the vein. Such tumours are rare, the most frequently encountered type being leiomyosarcoma. The authors present a case of leiomyosarcoma of the femoral vein.
