Cerebral angiography uses the Seldinger technique to insert a catheter into the femoral artery for contrast injection and imaging of brain vessels. The procedure involves puncturing the femoral artery with a needle, inserting a guide wire, threading a dilator and catheter over the wire, and advancing them into the artery. Various catheters and guidewires are used depending on the vessel size and anatomy. Risks include bleeding, clot formation, vessel damage, and contrast reaction. Proper technique and sterile precautions are important to minimize risks.
