Abstract
The authors evaluated the location of peripheral venous lines and changes in opacification of cephalic and axillary veins at fluoroscopically guided venography after tourniquet application. Results suggested that tourniquet application effectively reduces the superficial venous flow and consequently enhances the opacification of the axillary veins. Tourniquet application is a simple and effective way of facilitating axillary venous puncture.
