title: Catheter versus slow-flow carotid angiography in a highly vascularized process of the brain.
abstract: The benefits of the direct-puncture carotid angiography with the proximal-compression technique are not fully evaluated if not compared with a more simple diagnostic procedure, i.e. the femoral-catheter technique. In order to discuss this, a case history of a patient who underwent simultaneously both types of examination is presented.
