title: [Vascular risk in angiography examinations (author's transl)].
abstract: About an experience of 7,757 investigations and after study of the published series in the literature, it appears the frequency of the accidents following vascular roentgenology has not really changed since ten years. -- 0,5% complications; 0,07% death in aortographies; -- 0,4% complications; 0,09% death in femoral artery catheterization; -- 3% complications; no death in axillary artery catheterization. The authors use the term "complications" when a surgical operation is necessary or after effects are present in the evolution. The study of the recent literature proves no significant amelioration in comparison with the last ten years. The accidents are analysed in aortography, in arterial catheterization using femoral or axillary arteries: the latter is the most dangerous. The considerable increment of the number of investigations suppressed the progresses provided by the material improvements. An explanation: in hospitals, it is necessary to train the students for roentgenology.
