Infraclavicular, Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Approach to the Axillary Artery for Arterial Catheter Placement: A Randomized Trial
Authors' conclusion
An ultrasound-guided infraclavicular cannulation of the axillary artery is noninferior to the cannulation of the common femoral artery in terms of procedure success rate. We found no significant differences in early mechanical complications between the groups.
