title: The future of arteriography and vascular interventional radiology.
abstract: Non-invasive vascular imaging techniques threaten to diminish the catheter skills which radiology trainees currently acquire during diagnostic angiography. This, coupled with the desire of some vascular surgeons to perform minimally invasive "endovascular surgery", may threaten the future of this radiological subspecialty, or perhaps it will help to create a new discipline incorporating surgical, medical and radiological skills.
