Single mini-catheter technique for abdominal aortography and selective injection.
A single mini-catheter technique for abdominal aortography and selective injection using 4.1 and 5 French polyethylene catheters in the Shepherd's Crook configuration is described. Studies made in 365 patients were of high quality and without complications. This technique is easily learned, less time consuming, and safer than previous pig-tailed mini-catheter and larger catheter techniques.
