The common femoral artery (CFA) is located between the inferior margin of the inguinal ligament, and the branching point of the deep femoral artery. Its first three or four centimetres are enclosed, with the femoral vein , in the femoral sheath .
Femoral artery (also known in this location as the common femoral artery) and; Femoral vein; Lymphatic vessels found in the thigh aren’t usually included in this collective noun. As the blood vessels pass along the thigh, they branch, with their main branches remaining closely associated, where they are still referred to collectively as ...

Goes upward to anastomose with superior epigastric artery (a branch of internal thoracic artery). Deep circumflex iliac artery: Goes laterally, travelling along the iliac crest of the pelvic bone. Femoral artery [3] Terminal branch. When the external iliac artery passes posterior to the inguinal ligament, its name changes to femoral artery.
The ASV which is often responsible for varicose veins, can be located at the 'alignment sign', where it is seen to align with the femoral vessels. On ultrasound at the saphenofemoral junction in the groin, the common femoral vein (CFV) with the GSV and the common femoral artery (CFA) create an image called the Mickey Mouse sign.
Popliteal bypass surgery is a common type of peripheral bypass surgery which carries blood from the femoral artery of the thigh to the end of the popliteal artery behind the knee. [3] The femoral artery runs along the thigh and extends to become the popliteal artery which runs posteriorly to the knee and femur.
Proximal to the confluence with the deep femoral vein, and the joining of the great saphenous vein, the femoral vein is widely known as the common femoral vein. [3] As the common femoral vein leaves the inguinal ligament region it becomes the external iliac vein. [4] Other tributaries of the femoral vein are lateral and medial circumflex ...
