Technical development: a modified pigtail catheter for transbrachial aortography.
A high flow right angled 5 gauge polyethylene pigtail catheter was used in 24 patients for aorto-femoral angiography via the transbrachial approach. Its small size and right angled configuration allow easy, rapid introduction of the catheter into the abdominal aorta.
