[Use of the subclavian vein in angiographic studies on children].

The experience with catheterization of the subclavian vein in angiography in children aged from several months to 15 years is presented. 835 angiographies via the subclavian vein were carried out. The puncture of the subclavian vein is a convenient procedure in angiography, particularly in younger children. A relative safety and technical simplicity of catheterization of the subclavian vein allow to recommend it for a broader use in angiography.
