Selective or Non-Selective Catheterization

Question:

If we access the dorsalis pedis artery with a catheter and go up into the anterior tibial for arteriogram, is this selective or non-selective?

Answer:

This would be a non-selective catheterization; the access was made and did not cross into the aorta or into another territory for selective catheterization.
