[Brachial percutaneous venous access. Its usefulness in the diagnostic and interventionist catheterism of complex cardiopathies].

Unlabelled: Venous access through the superior caval vein is mandatory to study the pulmonary arteries in patients with a Glenn anastomosis. In complex congenital heart disease, repeat catheterizations may lead to iliac vein thrombosis and superior access is needed. In order to avoid the internal jugular venous puncture, we have used puncture of the antecubital vein as an elective access.
