Abstract
The 1967 article of Amundsen et al, “Cerebral Angiography via the Femoral Artery with Particular Reference to Cerebrovascular Disease,”[1][1] was chosen by the American Journal of Neuroradiology ( AJNR ) as the “Best Paper” in neuroradiology in 2003. Heinz and associates developed the
Highlights
The 1967 article of Amundsen et al, “Cerebral Angiography via the Femoral Artery with Particular Reference to Cerebrovascular Disease,”[1] was chosen by the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) as the “Best Paper” in neuroradiology in 2003
In 1964, we found a way to access all of the cerebral arteries with 1 puncture, the transfemoral cerebral angiogram (TFCA)
For a description of the San Francisco neuroradiology technical procedures for the performance of cerebral angiography, I quote the description of John Mani, a member of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) team at the time Dr Newton left San Francisco for his sabbatical in 1965–1966 and who worked with Dr Amundsen3: “After one week, Per told me that he understood the UCSF approach
Summary
The 1967 article of Amundsen et al, “Cerebral Angiography via the Femoral Artery with Particular Reference to Cerebrovascular Disease,”[1] was chosen by the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) as the “Best Paper” in neuroradiology in 2003. Amundsen did not publish his TFCA article until 1967.1 Given neuroradiologists’ common failure to image the vertebrobasilar arterial anatomy and, second, the great difficulty in puncturing and cannulating the carotid arteries in infants, it is not surprising that a solution would be found on each of 2 continents at roughly the same time.
