Medical procedure to obtain safe access to blood vessels and other hollow organs

Seldinger technique is a medical procedure to obtain safe access to blood vessels and other hollow organs. It is named after Dr. Sven-Ivar Seldinger, a Swedish radiologist who introduced the procedure in 1953.
History[edit]
The Seldinger technique was first introduced in 1953 by Dr. Sven-Ivar Seldinger, a Swedish radiologist. It was a revolutionary procedure that allowed for safe and efficient access to blood vessels and other hollow organs.
Procedure[edit]
The Seldinger technique involves the introduction of a needle into the desired blood vessel or hollow organ. A wire is then passed through the needle, and the needle is removed. A sheath or a dilator is then passed over the wire into the desired location, and the wire is removed. This leaves the sheath in place to provide access for further procedures.

Applications[edit]
The Seldinger technique is used in a wide range of medical procedures including angiography, angioplasty, and the placement of central venous catheters. It is also used in interventional radiology, cardiology, and other medical fields.
Advantages[edit]
The Seldinger technique has several advantages over other methods of gaining access to blood vessels and hollow organs. It is less invasive, has fewer complications, and allows for the placement of larger catheters.
Risks[edit]
While the Seldinger technique is generally safe, it is not without risks. These can include infection, bleeding, and damage to the blood vessel or organ.
