The A. femoralis originates from the A. Iliaca communis on both sides. It supplies the structures of the leg. It is often used as a puncture site for the access of heart catheters, especially in endovascular catheter-based therapy (EVAR), as it runs very close to the skin surface in the groin and has a corresponding size.
