Choice of route depends mainly on the number and location of any blood clot within the venous system. To place the filter, a catheter is guided into the IVC using fluoroscopic guidance, then the filter is pushed through the catheter and deployed into the desired location, usually just below the junction of the IVC and the lowest renal vein.

In some situations, venous access is obtained by inserting catheters into the large central veins of the trunk of the body such as the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins. This type of venous access is performed with central venous catheters (CVCs) , and is required in certain situations where peripheral access is inadequate.
The femoral vein is often used to place a central venous catheter, or line for venous access. Ultrasound imaging for locating the vein and catheter placement is advocated over the use of anatomical landmarks due to the possible presence of anatomical variants. [23] [24] [25] This is associated with a significant risk of infection. [25] [26]
It may seem fun for kids, but riding on a lawnmower can have catastrophic consequences. Children can easily fall or jump off the mower and sustain severe injuries or die as a result.
Catheter ablation procedure involves advancing several flexible catheters into the patient's blood vessels, usually either in the femoral vein, internal jugular vein, or subclavian vein. The catheters are then advanced towards the heart. The catheters have electrodes at the tips that can measure the electrical signals from the heart.
A Florida teacher was caught naked inside of an elementary school classroom with sex toys, marijuana and women’s underwear — and punched a cop while trying to flee the scene, according to police.
In the video, Torres said repeatedly that he couldn't breathe, and Boone can be heard laughing. "That's what you do when you choke me," Boone responded, what prosecutors called taunting .
A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC or PICC line), also called a percutaneous indwelling central catheter or longline, [1] is a form of intravenous access that can be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g., for long chemotherapy regimens, extended antibiotic therapy, or total parenteral nutrition) or for administration of substances that should not be done peripherally (e.g ...
