Abstract
During retrograde catheterization via the femoral artery and the brachial artery, the false lumen of a dissecting aneurysm was inadvertently entered in two patients. Bilateral carotid occlusion was produced in one by the high-pressure injection of contrast material into the false passage. A method is suggested to avoid this hazard.Keywords
