Morphometric Study of Femoral Artery and Profunda Femoris Artery in Femoral Triangle in Adult Human Cadavers.

Abstract

Introduction: The pulsation of femoral artery can be felt at its origin, where the vessels can be compressed against the superior ramus of the pubis or the head of the femur. Like the carotid pulse, the femoral pulse is of value in assessing whether there is any significant cardiac output in cases of circulatory collapse. It is common site for radiological catheter insertion and for arterial puncture for blood gas analysis. Materials and Methods: Hundred specimens of lower limb from 50 adult human cadavers fixed in 10% formalin was collected from Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) Medical College and Hospital Sangli and Government Medical Collage Miraj. Femoral artery and its branches were dissected meticulously. Result: Commonest site of origin of profunda femoris artery was from the lateral aspect (35 cases) of femoral artery. Conclusion: The femoral artery is quite superficial in the femoral triangle. It can be easily exposed for ligation, i.e. tying, or for passing a cannula or a thick needle. Catheters are passed upwards till the heart for certain minor operation.
