Abstract:
An apparatus and method for use in accessing a vasculature of a patient includes a pedestal, a mobility mechanism, a limb support table, at least one storage device, and a vessel visualization device. Operably associated with the pedestal, the mobility mechanism enables the apparatus to be mobile. The limb support table is also operably associated with the pedestal and is used to support a limb of the patient. The at least one storage device is operably associated with the pedestal and/or the limb support table. The vessel visualization device is operably associated with the pedestal and/or the limb support table and is used for improving visualization of the vasculature of the patient.
