Key result
Custom radiopaque catheters via open arterial exposure enable successful selective arteriography of aortic branches.
Why the study?
Successful selective arteriography requires fluoroscopic visualization of a catheter tip with the proper curve, but technical considerations for catheter design and introduction needed clarification.

Successful in canines; leaves open translation to human selective arteriography.
This early methodological paper describes the technical preparation and open surgical introduction of custom-shaped catheters for selective arteriography in a canine model.
Agnew et al. (1960) studied Selective Arteriography. Selective arteriography via open exposure was evaluated. Selective arteriography of aortic branches can be successfully performed using custom-moulded radiopaque catheters introduced via open arterial exposure.
