title: [Contra-lateral selective hip angiography (author's transl)].
abstract: A new method for the selective demonstration of the larger and smaller vessels which supply the hip is described. A curved catheter is introduced into the opposite femoral artery, it is advanced into the common iliac artery and a guide wire is then introduced into the femoral artery on the side to be examined. The catheter is withdrawn and a second, soft, catheter is introduced over the remaining guide into the femoral artery. The appropriate vessels can then be selectively catheterized by means of the catheter and guide wire. Good selective demonstration was achieved in 14 patients with various types of hip disease.
