The fascial sheath investing the femoral vessels.
Its first three or four centimetres are enclosed, with the femoral vein, in the femoral sheath. The relations of the femoral artery are as follows: 1  Anteriorly: In the upper part of its course, it is superficial and is covered by skin and fascia. 2  In the lower part of its course, it passes behind the sartorius muscle.  The femoral canal is an anatomical compartment, located in the anterior thigh. It is the smallest and most medial part of the femoral sheath. It is approximately 1.3cm long. In this article, we shall look at the borders, contents and clinical relevance of the femoral canal.  carotid sheath a portion of the cervical fascia enclosing the carotid artery, internal jugular vein, vagus nerve, and sympathetic nerves supplying the head. connective tissue sheath of Key and Retzius endoneurium. crural sheath femoral sheath. dural sheath the external investment of the optic nerve. dural sheath. the external investment of the optic nerve. femoral sheath. the fascial sheath of the femoral vessels.

The femoral triangle contains some of the major neurovascular structures of the lower limb. Its contents (lateral to medial) are: 1  Femoral nerve – Innervates the anterior compartment of the thigh, and provides sensory branches for the leg and foot.  There are 2 procedures used to treat PAD of the femoral arteries. The standard surgical procedure is femoral popliteal bypass surgery (fem-pop bypass), while a newer minimally invasive endovascular intervention is called percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the femoral artery: Femoral popliteal bypass.
