title: Simplified peripheral arteriography.
abstract: Demonstration of both iliofemoral arteries and their peripheral run-off is usually performed either by the translumbar approach, or by placing a pigtail catheter at the aortic bifurcation. A modified version of the old retrograde pressure method, simply using a cannula in one femoral artery, is described. There was considerable saving in materials, personnel and time. This method may once again be the method of choice in a busy radiology department.
