title: [Vascular radiology without hospitalization. Apropos of 306 angiographies and/or peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasties done on an ambulatory basis].
abstract: A study on the safety of outpatient angiography and interventional radiology was undertaken. The authors reviewed the medical files of 286 patients and conducted a late telephone inquiry in 249 patients (87%) who underwent these procedures on an outpatient basis : arteriographies (221) or percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (76) and a few intravenous studies (9). The results revealed a high degree of satisfaction from the patients (98%), no major complications and a very low incidence of minor complications (3%).
