A routine examination of a newborn includes checking her femoral pulse, or feeling her heartbeat by pressing on the artery in her groin. This test may be the first sign of a serious circulatory problem, known as coarctation, or interruption of the thoracic aorta.
Where is the Femoral Artery located? Group of arteries which are placed relatively close the thighâs inner surface, the groin area is called Femoral artery. The origin of Femoral artery is the inguinal ligament known as Femoral Head and it moves along at a place a bit above the knee. This place is termed as Adductor or hunterâs canal. Femoral artery branches out to provide blood to tissues and muscles which are located in the thighâs superficial region.The common femoral artery is about 4 cm in length and divides into the superficial femoral and the profunda femoris arteries.
