Miniature techniques offer many advantages for performance of routine angiography, as well as invasive vascular procedures. On the basis of the authors' experience with over 16,000 diagnostic and interventional procedures, this report describes the equipment and methods used for miniangiography. Development of sturdy, high-flow 3-5-F catheters and 0.014-0.018-inch guide wires, combined with the use of small needle puncture techniques, has improved the safety of angiography and intervention such that outpatient procedures are now routine. Miniature catheter systems are now preferable to larger catheter systems in most instances.
微型技术为常规血管造影以及侵入性血管手术的实施带来了诸多优势。基于作者在超过16000例诊断和介入手术中的经验，本报告描述了用于微型血管造影的设备和方法。坚固的、高流量的3-5F导管和0.014-0.018英寸导丝的研发，再结合小针穿刺技术的使用，提高了血管造影和介入手术的安全性，使得门诊手术如今已成为常规操作。在大多数情况下，微型导管系统现在比大型导管系统更可取。
