What Is a Femoral Vessel?

Femoral artery angioplasty and stent implantation are interventional treatment methods that use balloon catheters, stent and other instruments to eliminate or reduce femoral artery stenosis and thrombosis, and improve organ blood perfusion in the femoral blood supply area. Common diseases include congenital femoral stenosis, femoral atherosclerosis, and femoral arteritis, and femoral atherosclerosis is particularly common. Balloon angioplasty and stent implantation play a very important role in femoral artery atherosclerotic occlusive disease. The short-term risk of percutaneous puncture intervention is significantly lower than that of open surgery. At present, open surgery is only adopted in the case of failure of intravascular interventional therapy or percutaneous arterial puncture due to technical difficulties.
