Abstract |
A new type of preshaped angiographic catheter for right ventriculography to be inserted from the femoral vein has been developed. Right ventriculography using this catheter was conducted in about five hundred clinical cases. The result has revealed that this catheter is very useful in clinical settings without causing catheter-induced tricuspid regurgitation (TR) allowing easier and safer right ventriculography as compared with conventional catheters.
