[Xeroangiographic findings in patients with haemodialysis fistulas in the arm (author's transl)].
The authors report on a simple and accurate method for xeroangiographic visualisation of haemodialysis shunts in the arm which has been performed so far in 98 patients without complications. By this method, approx. 45 ml metrizamide (80 mg iodine/ml) are injected into the venous limb during short-term hypersystolic congestion. Single xeroradiography performed subsequently shows both the arterial and the venous vessels. The pathological findings established during the examinations (stenoses, pseudoaneurysms, venous thromboses) were confirmed by subsequent surgery.
