    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Percutaneous arterial sampling is crucial for various medical assessments.
    • Traditional methods may have limitations in accessing superficial arteries.
    • Assessing collateral circulation is vital before arterial procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transillumination for percutaneous arterial sampling.
    • To determine the success rate of transillumination in sampling superficial peripheral arteries.
    • To assess the utility of transillumination in confirming the Allen test.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous arterial sampling was performed utilizing transillumination.
    • Sampling was conducted on radial, ulnar, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis arteries.

  • Complications and success rates were meticulously recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • A high success rate of 96% was achieved for arterial sampling.
    • Minor hematomas were the only notable complication, resolving with pressure.
    • No serious adverse events such as infection, thrombosis, or thermal injury were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Transillumination is a safe and rapid technique for sampling superficial peripheral arteries.
    • It allows visual confirmation of the Allen test, aiding collateral flow assessment.
    • The technique may also assist in arterial cannulation procedures.
