To evaluate whether contrast-enhanced 3-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can substitute for transaxillary or transbrachial catheter access when angiography via the transfemoral route is not possible. ⋯ When transfemoral catheter angiography of the aortoiliac and lower extremities is not feasible, contrast-enhanced 3D MRA is suitable for determining and planning therapy and can be used instead of angiography via the transaxillary or transbrachial routes.
