Outpatient arteriography--a safe and practical proposition?
Ninety-five patients, who underwent fine catheter peripheral angiography as outpatients, were followed up and assessed to determine the safety of this procedure. No patients reported any major side effects and in particular no patients experienced a rebleed from the arterial puncture site. This procedure could be safely adopted in any radiology department.
