We want to know your experience in femoral access practices

femoral accessDear Colleague,

We are reaching out to ask you about your femoral access practices. A large proportion of angiographic and interventional procedures are performed via the femoral approach.

We have noticed significant variability in the access technique. Some operators prefer micropuncture, others are adamant about using ultrasound whereas other interventionists feel comfortable with angiographic guidance.

We are conducting this international survey to investigate the variability in femoral access practices across different geographic regions.

Your participation is important for this project, which will help describe the current state of femoral approach practices.

It will only take 5 minutes of your time. All answers will be anonymous.

Please feel free to pass this survey to your colleagues.

 

 

Best regards,
