A member asked:
High velocity in femoral arteries, what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narrowing: A high velocity in the femoral arteries is an ultrasound finding that suggests a possible narrowing in the artery. Whether or not this is significant depends on your symptoms and the blood pressure within your legs, often reported as the ankle-brachial index (abi). Discuss further with a board-certified vascular surgeon.
