[Ultrasound diagnosis of vascular complications following transfemoral puncture].
Percutaneous catheter interventions are performed increasingly often for the purposes of both diagnosis and therapy. The incidence of local complications reported after transfemoral catheterization in the literature is 0.1-9%. Such complications should be detected as early and reliably as possible, and sonography is a good means of finding them during follow-up, not least because it is suitable for use in examinations at the bedside. The clinical value of sonography compared with other examination techniques is made clear with reference to specimen cases.
