title: [Phlebography of the upper extremity--examination technic, indications and results].
abstract: Three radiological methods of examination can be used in phlebography of the upper extremity: screening (fluoroscopy) combined with on-target x-ray film examination; sheet film angiography; digital subtraction phlebography (DSP). Phlebography of the veins of the forearm performed preoperatively for selecting suitable veins for a dialysis shunt, should be done by screening with on-target x-ray film takes in several planes. DSP should be given preference if there is suspicion of thrombosis of the shoulder veins and the superior vena cava.
