[Coeliac angiography with high contrast flow rates (author's transl)].

The coeliac axis can be reliably catherised, using a catheter with a double curve; this can be advanced into the hepatic artery to assume a stable position. The advantages of this catheter can also be utilised by making several side holes and leaving the tip in the coeliac trunk. The side holes permit even filling of all branches of the trunk and because of the stable position, contrast can be introduced at a rate approximating blood flow. The method is easily performed, with excellent results.
