[Current indications for intravenous numerical angiography in the study of the ilio-femoral axis].
A study of the arterial axis from the aortic bifurcation to the femoral bifurcation was conducted by intravenous digital angiography in 40 patients. In 92.5% of these, opacification and visualization of the arteries were good or excellent. In 12 out of 15 patients the images were judged to be of the same quality as those obtained by conventional arteriography. A limitation of the method is the size of the intensifying screen (23 cm), which only allows exploration of one segment at each injection. This, however, is a minor drawback when this technique is used for control examination after percutaneous angioplasty or to investigate an accident of catheterization.
