Abstract
A new percutaneous transfemoral selective coronary arteriography technique was devised. "Coronary-seeking " tip configurations set in a redesigned moldable positive control catheter implement rapid, consistent selective coronary catheterization. When properly positioned, the catheters will remain in place for anatomical and dynamic filming in multiple positions. The inconvenience and possible complications of surgical cutdown on a brachial artery or those of percutaneous axillary approach are eliminated. In each of 100 cases examined, both coronary arteries were selectively catheterized and contrast injection was filmed by conventional serial radiography and cinephotofluorography.
