[Complications of adrenal angiography (author's transl)].
Since new ways of radiodiagnostic exploration of the adrenal glands are now performed, it is important to take stock upon the complications of adrenal angiography. These complications are very different according to the fact that we explore pheochromocytomas or not. The complications of stimulation, of hypertensive accident or collapsus are quite specially observed during the angiography of pheochromocytomas. They must be prevented by a selection of the indications and a reanimation pre and per angiography. Lesions of glandular destruction that lead to a hormonal insufficiency (sometimes therapeutic) are observed outwards pheochromocytomas. Because they depend upon the explored adrenal lesion and specially of the angiographic conditions of the exploration, these complications must be prevented by a rigorous technic.
