[Double aortic puncture: a new technique for the investigation of multiple vascular disease (author's transl)]

A new technique for the investigation of multiple vascular disease is described. This involves double aortic puncture conducted successively during the same operation time. The author emphasizes the precautions to be taken in relation to the original technique described by Amplatz, and the essential procedures that must be observed during the injection of large volumes of contrast medium. This technique enables the complete investigtions of multiple vascular disease to be conducted without the risks involved when using Seldinger's method.
