[Translumbar aortography with curved radiopaque cathter (author's transl)].

The technique for translumbar aortography with radiopaque polyaetylen catheters has been modified by curving the catheter so that the catheter tip after puncture and withdrawal of the canule, will bend in the lumen of the aorta. This is a simple technique to ensure that the catheter tip is placed free intra-luminally and at the same time it permits a better downstream or upstream technique.
