[Vascular complications of angiography in childhood (author's transl)].
Evaluation of 500 arteriograms in children over a period of three years revealed a complication rate of 7.4% (37 cases). In these, thrombosis occurred which had to be treated conservatively. The factors increasing the complication rate were low age, weight below 5000 grammes, exposure of the vessel, excessively large instruments and long duration of the examination. For the early recognition of thrombosis the Doppler technique is most valuable. Prophylactic measures are discussed.
