title: [Potentials and prospects of universal controlled catheterization in the diagnosis of heart and vascular diseases].
abstract: The results of the clinical use of the Medi-Tech universal controlled catheterization system for angiography and the Soviet [formula; see text] design are discussed. The examination was conducted 394 times on a total of 262 patients whose ages ranged from 4 1/2 to 79 years. The high efficacy (97.2%)of the use of a controlled catheter in catheterization of the cavities of the heart and pulmonary artery is shown. It is noted that the controlled system has great possibilities in carrying out complex selective and superselective contrast studies of th vessels and in catheterization of aortopulmonary and subclavian-pulmonary anastomoses in tetrad of Fallot through a venous approach. The advantages of the universal controlled catheter in study conducted for many purposes are emphasized.
