title: The value of digital subtraction angiography in peripheral vascular diseases.
abstract: The iliac and subclavian arteries and their distal branches were studied by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 79 patients and the results compared with conventional angiograms for 35 patients. Techniques, results, advantages and disadvantages are described. DSA (both intravenous and intra-arterial) looks very promising in the diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease.
