[Pitfalls of the dorsal decubitus in aortography].
The use of the prone position in aortography improves the visualization of the anterior wall of the aorta. This is supported by observation of an obstructed aortobifemoral by-pass and seems interesting in the study of aneurysms. More often, it is useful in case of decreased blood flow or increased local turbulence.
