title: [Possibilities and limitations of conventional arteriography and DSA in femoro-crural vascular occlusive diseases].
abstract: Now as before angiography is the method of choice when surgical vascular interventions are planned. Compared with conventional angiography the value of DSA is controversial. The aim of this study is to test both angiographic methods and its variants in femoro-crural occlusive disease including examination technique, costs, possibilities and limits. Due to the multiple advantages intraarterial DSA is recommended, employing in particular thin-needle guided puncture. An optimal image quality is available if equipment and examination technique are used in accordance with given recommendations.
