[Digital video subtraction angiography of the abdominal aorta, the pelvic and leg arteries]. 1983

T Harder, and R Janson, and K Lackner, and T Franken, and P Fischer

The arterial system can be demonstrated after intravenous contrast injection by means of DVSA. The abdominal aorta, pelvic and lower limb arteries were examined in this way in 152 patients. Occlusions, stenoses and areas of dilatation could be recognised. In 8% of the patients the aortic bifurcation or common iliac arteries were not adequately visualised. In other respects, the results of DVSA were comparable with conventional arteriography. Because of limited image size, DVSA is particularly indicated where the vascular changes can be localised accurately by clinical means. The method is well suited for observing the results of surgery or percutaneous angioplasty. The indications for arteriography have been reduced as a result of DVSA.
