Author(s): Aaron L. Graves, Charles R. Marchese, Bradley A. Creamer, Jennifer F. Dennis

Project Description : Limited reports have evaluated the utility of the popliteal vein (PV) specific to cannulation. The objective of this study was to characterize the diameter and length of the PV to evaluate this area as a potential cannulation site. These data provide full characterization of the PV in support of its utility in vascular access.
