Fig 2 Common femoral artery diameter (———) and body surface area (----) in male (A) and female subjects (B). Notice continued increase in diameter from age 25 years and onwards in contrast to almost constant body surface area in both male and female subjects. CFA, Common femoral artery; BSA, body surface area.
