Arterial Leadercath – PE

Arterial Leadercath is a catheter for arterial access inserted by the Seldinger technique.
Although it can be inserted in a variety of arteries, the most common sites for the placement of this catheter are the radial and the femoral artery.
The Seldinger technique makes arterial puncture easier particularly in hypotensive patients with a weak peripheral pulse and when arteries are atherosclerosed or narrow.
