  • Title: [Transvenous kidney puncture. New procedure for withdrawal of kidney tissue].
    Author: Mathias K, Rohrbach R, Strecker EP, Kauffmann G.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1976 Oct 21; 94(30):1700-4. PubMed ID: 992543.
    Abstract:
    A transvenous catheter technique for renal puncture is described which was successful in 9 of 11 punctures performed in 8 dogs. Macrohematuria was not observed in any case. Autopsy revealed only small subcapsular hematomas. The advantage of this procedure is the reduced risk of bleeding achieved by peripheral puncture and by-passing of the great central vessels with aid of phlebographic controls. Moreover localization of kidneys by excretion urography--impossible in patients with renal insufficiency--is unnecessary.
