Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The femoral artery located in the groin region is most commonly accessed with the Seldinger technique during cardiac catheterization. This is because it provides easy access to the heart and larger catheters can be inserted through this artery. The axillary and brachial arteries are not typically used for cardiac catheterization, and the carotid artery is generally avoided due to the risk of stroke.
