[Tomodensitometric evaluation of retroperitoneal damage caused by translumbar aortography].
23 patients were scanned over the abdomen following translumbar aortography. Retroperitoneal bleeding was smaller than expected and never serious for the patients. The use of computed tomography is considered helpful in the follow-up of patients after translumbar aortography; however it must be restricted only to patients with a previous difficult or traumatic procedure.
