title: [The value of venous digital angiography in the postoperative follow-up of thromboendarterectomy and aorto-iliac-femoral prosthetic replacement].
abstract: Personal experience of 21 patients controlled by venous digital angiography following thrombendarterectomy and aorto-iliac-femoral prosthetic substitution is reported. The technique can be usefully employed because it is not too invasive and gives excellent results, peripheral venous injection usually being sufficient to document vasal recanalisation and prosthetic morphology. Venous digital angiography is therefore the examination of choice in the follow-up of patients submitted to aortofemoral revascularisation operations, a field in which traditional angiography has been little utilised owing to the problems of arterial approach.
