Antegrade selective coronary angiography via the transseptal approach in a patient with severe vascular disease.
We describe a case of a woman with severe vascular disease in whom retrograde access to the aortic root was limited by both aortoiliac and axillary disease. Transseptal catheterization was performed in anticipation of percutaneous aortic valvuloplasty. Selective antegrade angiography was successfully performed using catheters introduced through the transseptal sheath.
