Overview
Maintaining femoral access proficiency is critical to ensure successful interventions. Ultrasound guided femoral puncture is proved to be safe & efficient, reducing the number of attempts, time to access, risk of venipunctures, and vascular complications*.
Troels Thim & Christian Juhl Terkelsen, interventional cardiologists from the Aarhus University hospital (Best Danish hospital for the 15th time) implemented ultrasound guidance as standard practice for femoral interventions more than 5 years.
They will share the reasons & benefits to systematically use ultrasound guidance in their daily practice. They will also demonstrate how to perform ultrasound guided puncture during real cases, to emphasize the ease of use and time efficiency of this technique.
