The Clinical Research and Application of Femoral Artery Inter-finger Location for Intravascular Modified Seldinger's Technique

Objective To improve success rate for femoral artery puncture with intravascular modified Seldinger's technique, and decrease its complications. Methods On base of modified Seldinger's technique, we devised a method of inter finger location for femoral puncture, ie, the operator put his indicator and middle finger close and parallel to femeoral artery, felt artery pulsation and located it. Results The success and complication rate for inter finger locations and traditional locations are 72%,23%, respectively. Conclusion Inter finger location method based on modified Seldinger's technique can raise success rate for femoral puncture, decrease complication rate, such as hematomas, henefiting developement of intravascular interventional diagnosis and treatment.
