title: Renal cyst puncture: utilization of pediatric guide wire technique and upright radiographic changers.
abstract: After puncture of a renal cyst with a polytetrafluoroethylene needle a pediatric 0.021-inch guide wire is inserted through a polytetrafluoroethylene sheath needle. The sheath is then advanced over the wire. The technique is controlled by fluoroscopy or performed under ultrasonography. Aspiration of the contrast material is performed, and then air and diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium are injected to outline the borders of the cyst. The patient is then taken to an upright and lateral radiographic changer for routine radiography in the upright and decubitus positions.
