経上腕動脈性選択的腹部血管造影法の20例の経験

Angiography with a new method using a transbranchial selective catheterization technique was performed on 20 patients. A slim and soft catheter was used for safety reasons and decrease the stress of the patients. Selective angiography was attempted an arteries including the celiac axia and its branches, SMA, and renal artery. Successful results were obtained in 87% of the patients by using a guidewire with the catheter. We also performed TAE and/or infused drugs into target arteries in 5 patients. Our method was of diagnostic value and made angiography possible for outpatients without complication.
