Abstract

A method is described to shape hydrophilically coated guide wires with specially prepared electronic round-nose pliers. These shaped wires can be engaged with 4-F catheters in the performance of selective angiography. Now even demanding selective catheterizations may be accomplished more easily and safely with small catheters.
