Vein13
  • Traditionally, the primary route for cardiac catheterization has been the femoral vein in the groin (transfemoral). (medicinenet.com)
  • One way is through an incision in your groin through your femoral vein. (medtronic.com)
  • Femoral hernias happen at the hole in the wall of the abdomen where the femoral artery and vein pass from the abdomen into the leg. (nuffieldhealth.com)
  • Inadvertent arterial injection, particularly when attempting to inject into the femoral vein, that is, "groin injecting," may cause arterial pseudoaneurysm ( 4 , 5 ). (cdc.gov)
  • We aimed to identify emerging trends in hospital admission for SSTIs and vascular disease arising from drug use and, specifically, where these may have occurred after injection of the femoral vein. (cdc.gov)
  • The increases for phlebitis or thrombophlebitis of the femoral vein and aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of the lower limb suggest that groin injecting may have contributed to the study findings ( 9 ). (cdc.gov)
