title: [Complications of angiography, punctures, and catheterizations in the framework of iatrogenic arteriopathies].
abstract: The complications of angiography, arterial puncture and catheterisation in the context of iatrogenic arterial disease are extremely variable and they are related to the condition of the artery (healthy or pathological), the site of puncture and the type of catheterisation; their clinical manifestations and prognosis are therefore wide ranging. Three types of complications can be distinguished by their high incidence: --complications of the Seldinger method comprising 110 cases between 1967 and 1980; --complications of high translumbar aortography, including one rare complication which should be underlined because of the severity of the prognosis: septic rupture in two observations; --complications of angioplastic dilatation which are now well-recognised. Their character allows precise determination of the indications of this type of therapeutic angiographic procedure: from December 1979 to March 1982, 6 complications observed out of a total of 114 angioplasty performed. The relatively high incidence of iatrogenic complications explains the necessity of early diagnosis, ensuring a good surgical result.
