Low mortality in this case series warrants caution; Level 5 data leaves open true complication rates in broader use.
What are the complication rates of selective percutaneous transfemoral coronary arteriography using the Judkins technique?
The Judkins technique for percutaneous transfemoral coronary arteriography is a reliable method with an acceptably low overall mortality rate of 0.46%.
