The described technique of injecting Silastic tubing via hydraulic propulsion allows for extended selective diagnostic catheterization and reversible arterial occlusion.
The authors describe the use of Silastic tubing injected through conventional selective catheters by means of hydraulic propulsion. Such a technique extends the range of selective diagnostic catheterization and produces reversible, selective transluminal arterial occlusion for control of hemorrhage and for other purposes.
