Selective

The starting point for selective catheter placement in vascular families typically begins at the femoral artery, brachial artery, or radial artery, depending on the procedure and the specific vascular territory being accessed. From this access point, catheters are navigated through the arterial system to reach the target vascular family, such as the coronary, cerebral, or renal arteries. The choice of access site is influenced by factors like patient anatomy, the location of the vascular family of interest, and the operator's preference and experience. Proper imaging guidance, often through fluoroscopy, aids in ensuring accurate placement.
