Why the study?
Does cardiac catheterization involving the femoral artery impair resting and maximal leg muscle blood flow in children with congenital heart defects or chronic respiratory disease?
Does cardiac catheterization involving the femoral artery impair resting and maximal leg muscle blood flow in children with congenital heart defects or chronic respiratory disease?
Femoral artery catheterization in childhood is associated with a significant but subclinical reduction in maximal leg muscle blood flow years later.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Suggests subclinical vascular impact after pediatric femoral access; leaves open clinical relevance and need for prospective studies in congenital heart disease.
Škovránek et al. (1979) studied this question.
