Abstract
The technique and experiences with a double-curve catheter are described for rapid left transaxillary catheterization of the abdominal aorta. Successful catheterization was achieved in 98.6% of 140 patients. A large hematoma complicated the examination in 2.8% of the cases. The only permanent lesion was an incomplete palsy of the median nerve in one (0.7%) patient.
