The femoral arterial cannula is an important medical tool, and it plays an important role in modern medicine. Especially in the management of cardiovascular disease, its important role is particularly highlighted, it is usually used in interventional diagnosis and treatment process. This paper will describe in detail the function, application, operation process and clinical significance of femoral artery cannula, so that readers can have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding.

Cannulation of femoral artery

Known as a femoral cannula, the femoral arterial cannula is inserted into the body through the femoral artery, or main artery of the thigh. The main materials when constructing the catheters are generally high quality medical-grade materials to maintain Biocompatibility and durability. The catheter is basically a thin tube that might already have a therapeutic agent attached to one end, outside of the body and penetrates the blood vessel deep down to the targeted area.

Site of placement of femoral arterial cannulas

The most important role of the femoral arterial cannula is to supply a direct, safe, and effective pathway for drug delivery, blood sampling, hemodynamic monitoring, and interventional treatment. In performing cardiovascular diseases management, femoral arterial cannulas are usually utilized for:

Local drug delivery : a catheter is used to deliver the drug to the lesion site, which improves local drug concentration and local drug side effects.

Blood sample collection: Used to obtain arterial blood samples, blood gas analysis and other biochemical tests for doctors to provide important diagnostic information.

Hemodynamic monitoring: Catheters measure physiological data like blood pressure and heart rate, giving doctors real-time physiological data to inform treatment decisions.

Balloon dilation, stenting, thrombus aspiration and other interventional procedures depend upon the access provided by the femoral catheter.

Femoral arterial cannulation procedure

Experienced physician performed either ultrasound or X-ray guided femoral catheterization usually done in an interventional operating room. The process is as follows:

Before they are prepared for the patient who needs to stay in the supine position, they exfoliate the area of the femoral artery with disinfection after local anesthesia

Catheter insertion: Using ultrasound or x-ray for guidance, the physician inserts the catheter into the femoral artery and moves it into the area that is to be treated.

Therapy: drug perfusion, blood collection, Hemodynamics monitoring, or interventional therapy when needed.

Catheter extraction: after the end of treatment, the doctor will slowly pull out the catheter, and the puncture point compression hemostasis and bandaging.

Clinical importance of femoral arterial cannula

IntroductionFemoral arterial cannulas have greatly facilitated the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This enables doctors to more precisely treat the area where the injury is occurring, allowing for more accurate and safer treatment options. Furthermore, the introduction of femoral arterial cannula also has advanced the development of the diagnosis technique of cardiovascular disease, to give doctors make more diagnostic measures and treatment.

In conclusion, femoral arterial cannula as a key medical tool has an irreplaceable position in the cardiovascular disease treatment. When we have a profound understanding of its principle, usage, applying process and significance of clinical value, we are able to maximize the clinical application of the technology and to guarantee a best quality and more convenient medical services for patients.
