Abstract:

In this paper we describe a new protocol-named RaFeVA (Rapid Femoral Vein Assessment)-for the systematic US assessment of the veins in the inguinal area and at mid-thigh, designed to evaluate patency and caliber of the common and superficial femoral veins and choose the best venipuncture site before insertion of a FICC.
