"standard post-procedure protocols typically involve 2–6 hours of bed rest, depending on anticoagulation use 7, 9"
"Local anaesthetic: Short-acting local anaesthetic is injected under real-time ultrasound visualisation."
"Needle insertion: Using a 21 G or 18 G needle, puncture the CFA under real-time ultrasound guidance, ensuring the needle is inserted at a 30–45° angle."
"Guidewire insertion: Advance a guidewire through into the CFA, confirming intraluminal placement using fluoroscopy."
"Sheath placement: Insert the arterial sheath over the guidewire, ensuring smooth passage without resistance."
