1 Femoral pulse: located in the inner thigh, at the mid-inguinal point, halfway between the pubic symphysis and anterior superior iliac spine (femoral artery). 2  Popliteal pulse: Above the knee in the popliteal fossa, found by holding the bent knee.
The femoral vein and artery are side by side, so once the artery is found, so is the vein. The femoral vein, like most veins, carries deoxygenated blood to the heart. If the femoral vein becomes blocked by a blood clot, blood will be unable to drain from the leg. The femoral vein lies beside the femoral artery, which supplies the femoral pulse.
