Selective Carotid Angiography

Femoral catheter techniques in cerebral angiography—an analysis of 422 examinations

“…Selective external carotid angiography has been performed by direct puncture of the external carotid artery (Ruggiero, Calabro, Metzger, and Simon, 1963) or selective catheterisation by a percutaneous catheter of the common carotid artery (Hanafee and Weidner, 1963;Pribram, 1966). The success rate of selective study by these techniques is probably similar to our present technique, which has the relatively high success rate of 81-4 per cent.…”

Thermistors for Measurement of Cerebral Blood Flow

“…o In practice, flow measurement is achieved by slipping the teflon catheter inside an angiographic catheter previously located in the carotid artery by percutaneous technique (HANAFEE & WEIDNER 1963). The teflon catheter is fed through the angio-catheter until its tip emerges in the blood stream.…”
