Ultralong, reverse-curve angiographic catheter.
An ultralong, reverse-curve angiographic catheter has been developed to facilitate selective internal pudendal arteriography for evaluation of vasculogenic impotence. The catheter has enabled successful selective catheterization of the internal pudendal arteries in 95% of more than 200 attempts. The catheters have also been used in approximately 100 vascular procedures other than pudendal arteriography.
