Marmoset angiography just by percutaneous puncture of the caudal ventral artery.

ABSTRACT: Surgery in humans is continuously evolving and promoted minimally invasive treatment. On the other hand, despite the importance of the 3Rs principles for experimental animals is well documented, no reports describe specific methodologies for implementing "refinement" in practice. Here, we describe a new technique, the "Ohta Method" for caudal arthrocentesis in the pursuit of the 3Rs for animal experiments and the development of innovative methods for investigating systemic organ arteries through minimally invasive procedures. This procedure requires only a percutaneous puncture of the caudal artery without any injury to the limb or body trunk. In addition, it does not cut down the artery, making hemostasis easier and recovering arterial damage easier. We will show multiple organ artery ang
