"During these years in Stockholm he was very productive, beginning with his initial and most important paper on percutaneous catheterisation in 1953 1. The technique was actually originally presented at the Congress of the Northern Association of Medical Radiology in Helsinki, Finland in June 1952 5. Impressively his novel technique was developed and published when he was still a radiology trainee!"
""Now! After an unsuccessful attempt to use this technique I found myself disappointed and sad, with three objects in my hand - a needle, a wire and a catheter - and… in a split second I realised in what sequence I should use them: Needle in - wire in - needle off - catheter on wire - catheter in - catheter advance - wire off."

"“In the movement of angiography from the part of a bit player to that of a protagonist in the scenario of diagnostic medicine, probably no single contribution has weighed more heavily than the technique developed by Sven Seldinger. To a major degree, its elegance and its usefulness lie in its very simplicity, and although Seldinger has been modest about his contribution, it took both ingenuity and creativity to lead angiography into a new period and a new arena. All of us in radiology acknowledge our great debt to Seldinger for his vision. His contribution moved the field into a new and exciting direction and left a permanent imprint on medical imaging and diagnostic and therapeutic medicine” 4."

"In 1967 Dr Seldinger took up a new position as the Radiologist-in-Chief, at Mora Lasarett, the community hospital, in his hometown. He held this position until his retirement in 1986 2. He died at home on 21 February 1998 5; he predeceased his wife, Britt-Liss, a renowned painter, and three daughters, Mari, Nina, and Mona 2."
