[Angiography in intensive care medicine].
Angiography is rarely performed in the intensive-care ward. Indications are: pulmonary embolism, unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, acute arterial occlusion, traumatic vascular lesions, aneurysms and if a foreign body has to be extracted. It will always be necessary to weigh the pros and cons, that is to say the risks and danger involved in transporting the patient and in performing an invasive diagnostic procedure on the one hand, and the possible therapeutic gain on the other.
