	VI. The Arteries. 6. The Arteries of the Lower Extremity. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		In the upper third of the thigh the femoral artery is contained in the femoral triangle (Scarpa’s triangle), and in the middle third of the thigh, in the adductor canal (Hunter’s canal).
		The artery is separated from the capsule of the hip-joint by the tendon of the Psoas major, from the Pectineus by the femoral vein and profunda vessels, and from the Adductor longus by the femoral vein.
		It is accompanied by the branch of the femoral nerve to the Vastus lateralis.

	Anterolateral Thigh
		This branch arises from the profunda femoral trunk.
		The lateral femoral circumflex artery distributes both ascending and descending branches, the latter supplying the perforators to the anterolateral thigh flap.
		The ascending branch likewise is divided and the flap is isolated on the lateral femoral circumflex vessels.

	Femoral artery definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Femoral artery: A large artery that starts in the lower abdomen and goes down into the thigh The femoral artery starts as a continuation of the external iliac artery which comes from the abdominal aorta.
		The femoral artery is first known as the common femoral artery, because it has not yet given off branches.
		The venous counterpart of the femoral artery is the femoral vein.

	The coronarography - Description of the technique
		Thus, this hose is introduced through an artery (femoral or radial), then travels through the arterial network up to the aorta thus joining the origin of the coronary arteries.
		The artery situated in the fold of the groin, the femoral artery, and the one situated at the level of the wrist (radial artery) is chosen to achieve this exam.
		Once the introductor has been put in place in the artery (a generally painless gesture), the hose which will inject the radiological contrast product is introduced into the artery, then routed into the aorta up to the level of the starting point of the coronary arteries.

	Vascular Disease Management - Superficial Femoral Artery
		The superficial artery is the femoral artery (large artery of the thigh) after the profunda femoris artery branch point (to differentiate the femoral artery segments before and after the branch point).
		The arterial system is structurally dynamic with forces imparted upon it, causing torsion, kinking, and strain.
		Attempt at wire traversal of the SFA occlusion was not initially successful, due to subintimal passage of the wire and inability to re-enter the reconstituted true lumen of the popliteal artery.

	New York School Of Regional Anesthesia - Femoral Nerve Block (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		As the femoral nerve passes underneath the inguinal ligament, it is positioned immediately lateral and slightly deeper than the femoral artery.
		At the femoral crease, the nerve it is covered by the fascia iliaca and separated from the femoral artery and vein by a portion of the psoas muscle and the ligamentum ileopectineum.
		This physical separation of the femoral nerve from the vascular fascia explains the lack of the spread of a "blind paravascular" injection of local anesthetics toward the femoral nerve.

		The femoral triangle is formed by the inguinal ligament (superiorly), the sartorius muscle (laterally), and adductor longus (medially).
		The femoral nerve, the femoral artery and the femoral vein (from lateral to medial), are three important structures running through this area.
		The arterial layer that is in direct contect with the flow of blood is the ''tunica intima'', commonly called the ''intima''.

		Within the femoral triangle it gives off a number of small branches (variable, but usually including superficial external pudendal, superficial epigastric and superficial circumflex iliac arteries) as well as the large and important profunda femoris which is the main artery of the thigh.
		The femoral artery can be felt (and sometimes seen) as a pulse at the top of the thigh at the mid-inguinal point.
		In entering the lower limb at the front, but passing progressively posteriorly to lie behind the knee joint, the femoral artery is subjected to the least possible stretching from movements of the hip and knee.

		Femoral artery disease is a peripheral vascular disease of the femoral artery.
		The femoral artery is located in the thigh.
		It's not as invasive as bypass surgery, involving the insertion of a catheter, and the implanting of a metal mesh tube to hold the blood vessel open.

	Tying the femoral artery
		Further on, when the femoral artery is in the canal underneath sartorius, the adductor longus and adductor magnus muscles lie behind it; vastus medialis lies anterolaterally.
		The superficial epigastric artery, the superficial circumflex iliac artery, and the superficial and deep external pudendal arteries all arise from the femoral artery close to its origin.
		Pass an aneurysm needle round the artery, tie it with zero silk or linen, and don't divide it.

	Maryland Surgical Care - Lower Extremity Circulation
		Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is caused by buildup of plaque (atheroma) in the lumen of the artery (the channel where blood flows).
		This is commonly known as atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
		This is known as claudication and is caused by the muscles being starved for oxygen due to the blockages in the artery.

		Duplex imaging suggested the presence of distal superficial femoral artery occlusion.
		At one and six months, the patient was asymptomatic, had an ABI of 1.0, which did not drop on treadmill testing and had a patent superficial femoral artery on duplex imaging.
		Figure 1 The initial angiogram shows a short segment occlusion of the distal superficial femoral artery.
