Popis: We report our findings using the “reverse shuffle” technique of stepping table femoral angiography. This technique represents a simple modification of the conventional stepping table sequence entailing a reverse table movement allowing acquisition of early and late films in the distal positions. It was developed in order to minimize the number of runs required in each examination. In a retrospective study 52/53 (98%) of angiograms using the reverse shuffle technique required only a single run compared with 30/51 (58%) using the conventional technique. We believe that the reverse shuffle should be used where possible when stepping table angiography is performed. Furthermore, the incorporation of a reverse table movement may also be advantageous in angiography using automated digital subtraction angiography (DSA) stepping systems.
