Preshaped catheters for percutaneous transaxillary selective coronary arteriography.
Percutaneous transaxillary selective coronary arteriography using preshaped catheters is useful in patients who have had aorto-iliac surgery or have clinical evidence of occlusive arterial disease of the lower extremities. For safety and ease of performance it compares favorably with the percutaneous transfemoral method and can be readily mastered by those experienced in the transfemoral approach.
