I Need Angioplasty Info

Has anyone anywhere had an angioplasty using the arm vein instead of the
usual leg vein? If so, where and who was the doctor who did it? Contact
me at lili_flo…@hotmail.com

Thanks ever so much
Liliana

    vascular access to do angioplasty is typically through an artery (most
    commonly femoral, right leg) but can be done through a brachial artery
    in the arm.  this alternative approach is routine here at Emory.
