The radiographic appearance of arterial sheath kinking.
A case of arterial sheath kinking is reported. Radiographically, sheath kinking has some features which mimic sheath fracture. The radiographic appearance of sheath kinking is, however, distinctive and clearly separable from sheath fracture, the hallmark of which is extravasation of contrast at the fracture site.
