ANGIOGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE DIFFICULT AORTIC ARCH: A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR TRANSFEMORAL CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY IN THE AGED

Ninety-seven per cent of attempted selective catheterizations were successful. The complication rate was minimal, reflecting the relatively short procedure time and economy of manipulation.
