By using a new 5-F-needle-sheath system for translumbar aortic puncture, it was possible to introduce 4-F-catheters of different lengths and shapes. In nine patients 19 vessels were selectively catheterised. There were no complications. The trans-lumbar approach to selective angiography is a simple and safe alternative to the more dangerous trans-brachial method.
