AB Summary: We report our experience with a 3.2F cerebral diagnostic catheter system. Thirty patients (aged 6 months to 76 years) had undergone cerebral angiography. All targeted brachiocephalic vessels were catheterized except for one artery (98.9% success rate). The image quality obtained with the 3.2F catheter was judged to be comparable with that using the 4F catheter in all cases. This catheter system could be used for cerebral angiography as the standard for patients of all ages.
