[Peripheral neurologic complications following percutaneous transaxillary aortography].

Today percutaneous transaxillary aortography is indicated cautiously because of severe neurological permanent injury. The nervous lesion is superficially caused by catheter manipulation or postangiographic hematomas resp. an aneurysma spurium. The symptomless time interval of hours or days proves the cause of hematoma. In the early stage an overlay of the damage causes is possible. The sensible and motorial deficit can be decisively influenced by an early exoneration of the neurovascular septum.

[Perforation of the esophagus by gastric tubes (author's transl)].

Esophageal lesions caused by gastric tubes are not rare nowadays. Perforation at the physiologically narrow sites of the esophagus is a wellknown mechanism as is the use of inflexible polyethylen tubes containing a mandrin. Within 12 months perforation of the esophagus caused by gastric probes occurred in four patients of our intensive care unit. Clinical symptoms, diagnostic procedures and therapy of this complication are discussed, especially emphysizing the need of early diagnosis. The extent of complications arising from and the process of healing of this iatrogenic lesions depend upon the localization of the lesion and ypon early diagnosis.
