Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Percutaneous arterial sampling was performed using transillumination. A success rate of 96% was obtained when sampling the radial, ulnar, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis arteries. Although small hematomas were produced despite pressure, no serious complications of infection, thrombotic obstruction, or thermal injury occurred. We conclude that the use of transillumination for arterial sampling is a safe technique that permits rapid sampling of very superficial peripheral arteries, allows visual confirmation of the Allen test for estimation of collateral flow, and would perhaps aid in arterial cannulation.
