Abstract

A new catheter technique for selective study of the branches of the difficult aortic arch has been used in 213 patients. Designed for the femoral approach, it is also applicable to either axillary approach.Ninety-seven per cent of attempted selective catheterizations were successful. The complication rate was minimal, reflecting the relatively short procedure time and economy of manipulation.
