[Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography of the femoral bifurcation as a supplement to conventional pelvic-leg arteriography].
In view of the fact that in prognosis and treatment of arterial occlusion, particular importance must be attached to the profunda femoris artery, and especially to the region of origin of this artery, it is imperative to achieve angiographic representation of the descent of the profunda femoris artery without any masking. The intra-arterial injection method employing digital subtraction angiography is the method of choice, since it requires a low amount of contrast agent, time, and film. In 90 per cent of the cases, ipsilateral anterior oblique projection will be most suitable to represent the femoral bifurcation, which depends on the course of the profunda femoris artery in anterior-posterior projection, the angle varying between 30 degrees 40 degrees. 50 to 70 per cent of the stenoses occurring in the descending part of the profunda femoris artery, can be recognised via oblique projection only.
