Abstract

Background: The knowledge of Anatomy and anatomical variation of femoral artery is important to place the arterial cannula, to introduce the catheter for cardiac catheter for cardiac angiogram, making arteriovenous fistula for haemodylasis, to avoid injury to the femoral artery during surgery in femoral and inguinal region and to avoid excessive bleeding during fracture of neck of femur and hip dislocation. Objectives: To study the origin and branching pattern of femoral artery and to study the origin and branching pattern of femoral artery. Methods: The present study was conducted on 50 lower limbs from embalmed human cadavers from the Department of Anatomy, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Bengaluru. Femoral triangle was dissected and the femoral artery and branches were traced, the distance between midinguinal point and point of origin of branches were noted. Results Endovascular intervention therapy like femoral catheterisation and aortofemoral and aortopopliteal surgeries are common nowadays. Angiogram or angiography is performed through FA in atherosclerosis of peripheral blood vessels of lower part of the leg. All these procedures need precise knowledge of anatomy of FA. Hence in this study an attempt is made to study the origin, course, and branching pattern of FA.
