Summary1. A self-guiding catheter has been described for placement in the right heart or pulmonary arteries of dogs. 2. This technic does not require a fluoroscope and localization is determined from the pressure recording. 3. The same catheter has likewise been used routinely for occlusion of the left pulmonary artery.
