Percuteneous Brachial Artery Puncture for Cathetenization(Areport of 42 Cases) / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Over a 2 year period,53 transbrachial approachs were selectively performed in 42 cases.5～6F catheters were insertend directly over a guide-wire vie a puncture site 1～3cm over the antecubital fossa of left arm,where the artery would be less mobile.Selective cathetenization of the hepatic artery,superior mesenterie artery,infradiaphragmatic artery,renal artery,internalilliac artery,femoral artery and their branches were suessesfully achieved.No significant complications were encountered.This method proved to be a safe,reliable and well-tolerated ahernetive,though the exemination technique was more in demanding.The indications,techniques and complications of the method were discussed.
