title: [Value of digital angiography in the preoperative evaluation of arteritis of the leg. Results of a national survey].
abstract: The results of a survey on the role of digital angiography in the preoperative assessment of chronic lower limb arteritis demonstrate the diagnostic utility of combining digital image processing and arteriophlebography in a radiological system. This technique allows a practically complete assessment at one go, which is also made possible by the use of small material and of low-osmolarity contrast media, thus reducing the need for extensive anesthesia other than local anesthesia.
