[Translumbar aortography with curved radiopaque cathter (author's transl)]. 1976

J Jorgensen

The technique for translumbar aortography with radiopaque polyaetylen catheters has been modified by curving the catheter so that the catheter tip after puncture and withdrawal of the canule, will bend in the lumen of the aorta. This is a simple technique to ensure that the catheter tip is placed free intra-luminally and at the same time it permits a better downstream or upstream technique.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002404	Catheterization	Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions.	Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
