[Technic for digitalized angiography of the legs by unilateral femoral artery puncture and programmed displacement of the examination table. Apropos of 56 cases].
The authors describe a technique for digital subtraction angiography of vessels of the legs, performed in 56 patients for suspicion or control of peripheral vascular disease. Owing to an unilateral femoral arterial puncture and a programmed moving of the table top, a subtraction arterial mapping of the two legs is obtained with only two injections of contrast medium. On the side of the puncture the arterial opacification is always very satisfactory. On the other side opacified by reflux the popliteotibial region is visualized in 95% of cases. We had no complication with iodine or arterial puncture. Our technique is then characterized by its simplicity and a small trauma owing to the unilateral puncture and the reduction of contrast medium injections.
