Access system for femoral vasculature catheterization and related method

An access system that provides the capability to inject a contrast agent while simultaneously navigating a guide wire into a vicinity of a vasculature, a non-vasculature structure, and/or the vasculature of a subject through a tip of an access needle, said access system comprising:

• said access needle;
• said guide wire;
• and
• a chamber, wherein said chamber is configured to allow said guide wire to pass through said chamber and said access needle while simultaneously injecting said contrast agent from said chamber into the subject to guide said access needle beneath the skin, in the vicinity of a vasculature, the non-vasculature structure, and/or in the vasculature.

A method for using an access system that provides the capability to inject a contrast agent while simultaneously navigating a guide wire into a vasculature, a non-vasculature structure, and/or a vicinity of a vasculature of a subject through a tip of an access needle, said method comprising:

• advancing said access needle of said system through the skin of a subject;
• determining if said access needle is in the correct location;
• and:
• if said access needle is in the correct location then further advancing said access needle of said system until said access needle has accessed the vasculature, the non-vasculature structure, and/or the vicinity of the vasculature of the subject;
• or
• if said access needle is not in the correct location withdrawing or repositioning said access needle and then determining if said access needle in the correct location.
