Closed system venography in the evaluation of upper extremity hemangiomas.
Closed system venography is a technically simple radiographic technique of minimal patient morbidity and inconvenience that has proven to be useful in evaluating the extent of upper extremity hemangiomata and in planning its treatment. The only apparent contraindication to the technique is allergy to the radiopaque dye. In a recent series of cases, this technique of venography has yielded more information than has arteriography.
