Abstract |
Aortography and echocardiography by countercurrent injection into the radial artery performed for the detail diagnosis of PDA in newborns. The results were as follows:
1) Aortography by countercurrent injection via ridial artery affords an easy, safe and simple bedside means for
the diagnosis of PDA without retrograde arterial catheterization, which is occasonally complicated by thrombosis
of the artery in small infant. 2) By contrast echocardiography via radial artery, PDA was diagnosed accurately without any complications.
