title: [Arteriography in critical changes in the iliac arterial bed].
abstract: The authors share their experiences with performing arteriography in 33 patients with spread atherosclerotic occlusions of the iliac vessels. When the traditional accesses were not possible, accesses through the explant (in 22 patients) and the occluded artery (in 11 patients) were used. Investigations with the simultaneous portional administration of heparin were fulfilled in 27 patients with progressing ischemia of the lower extremities and in 6 patients having anastomosis aneurysms. No complications were noted. The femoral access is thought to be preferable in order to reduce the amount of local complications. The experience and up-to-date technical equipment allowed the recanalization of the iliac arteries to be successfully fulfilled which turned the diagnostic measures into the curative endovascular intervention in some patients.
