Randomized Controlled Trial
A prospective randomized clinical trial of the use of fluoroscopy in obtaining femoral arterial access.
There is no consensus on the utility of fluoroscopy in obtaining common femoral artery (CFA) access. ⋯ In this single-center, randomized trial, the use of fluoroscopy did not increase the probability of arterial puncture over the femoral head or the rate of successful CFA cannulation.
