Abstract:
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:It is widely believed that down-sizing catheters, and possibly needles, will decrease damage to the entry vessel in the performance of angiography. The purposes of this in vitro experiment are to determine if smaller needles produce less arterial wall damage than larger needles and to assess the influence of subsequent catheter insertion. METHODS:Each iliac artery pair from 35 fresh human cadavers was punctured three times with an 18-g needle and three times with a 21-g needle, for a total of 210 punctures. In two of each set of three, a 5- or 7-F dilator was passed. One hundred ninety-eight puncture tracts were usable and examined microscopically. They were graded on a scale of 1 to 3 in each of four categories: size of tract, margin irregularity, approximation of edges, and shape of tract. RESULTS:Chi-square analysis of the grading scores showed a significant shift of cases into lower damage grades when the smaller gauge needle was used for initial punctures (P < .0005). The subsequent insertion of a dilator, however, imposed further damage, such that the initial differences due to needle gauge were obliterated (P > .2). CONCLUSION:These data indicate that a 21-g needle produces less arterial wall damage than an 18-g needle, but that any safety conferred by the smaller needle is eliminated by the subsequent insertion of a 5- or 7-F catheter.
