title: Transbrachial approach with turn over technique for selective cerebral angiography--technical note.
abstract: A new technique to obtain selective internal carotid, external carotid and vertebral artery angiograms through the transbrachial route using a special 4-Fr long catheter and long guidewire positioned by a turn over technique is described. The technique was used in 25 geriatric patients to obtain angiograms without persistent complications.
