The Algorithm for the Study of Deep Femoral Vessels Using Ultrasound Duplex Angioscanning by R. E. Kalinin, I. A. Suchkov, E. A. Klimentova, I. N. Shanayev, R. M. Khashumov

“…Therefore, for ultrasound examination, a linear probe is first used, which is placed along the projection line of the femoral vessels in the upper third of the thigh, and then the orifice of the deep femoral vessels is visualized. Next, a convex probe is used, and in the middle and lower third of the thigh, it is drawn along a line located 2 cm medially to the projection line of the femoral vessels, while the probe itself deviates posteriorly by ~ 15°.CONCLUSION The research algorithm helps increase the length of the areas of the deep femoral artery and vein available for research and help the physician choose the optimal method of treating the patient.…”
