Minipuncture angiography
Abstract
The frequency of arterial trauma or hematoma can be reduced by using smaller puncturing needles (21-gauge) and catheters (4- or 5- French). Versatile ultrafine guide wires are now available for selective and superselective catheterization. This miniaturization of angiographic equipment allows many vascular procedures to be performed safely on an outpatient basis or in short procedure units.
