Abstract : The authors reviewed their experience with 31 patients with transaxillary abdominal and lower limb arleriography; with particular attention to technical difficulty or any complication related to the procedure. The indication for transaxillary approach were aortic occlusion or stenosis (20/31) comnwn or external iliac occlusion or stenosis (7/31), abdominal aortic aneurysm (2/31), iatrogenic abdominal aortic dissection (1/31) and bilateral fenwral arlery aneurysm (1/31). Technical difficulties are minimal using single pigtail catheter technique. Difficulties in catheterization can be overcome by the use of catheter exchange technique and thin safety J guide wire (0.028, 0.025 inch). Only one patient out of 31 had minimal insignificant axillary haematoma from the procedure. It was concluded that the use of minicatheters (SF) with minimal catheter exchange and adequate manual compression after catheter withdrawal until complete haenwstasis minimize the risk of complications
