A comparison of hexabrix and Renografin 60 in peripheral arteriography.

Fifty-one patients were analyzed after a randomized double-blind study comparing Hexabrix and Renografin 60 in peripheral arteriography. The arteriographic studies and the volumes of contrast material used in both groups were similar. Hexabrix caused significantly less pain and discomfort than Renografin 60, and the diagnostic quality of the radiographs was comparable. A slightly higher incidence of minor side effects was noted in the Hexabrix group, mostly nausea and vomiting and urinary retention.

Angiography

The cervical split: a pseudofracture.

A horizontal lucent line projecting over a cervical vertebral body on lateral radiographs and simulating a fracture is described. The pseudofracture line results from the lucency between contiguous proliferative osteophytes at the uncinate process/vertebral articulation. Associated disc space narrowing was seen in all of our eleven cases. The origin of this pseudofracture line, cases illustrating this phenomenon, and additional projections helpful for clarification are presented.

A nonoperative technique for establishment of a gastrostomy in the dog.

Gastrostomies have been performed nonoperatively under local anaesthesia using a simultaneous percutaneous and endoscopic approach. This technique has been modified to be done under fluoroscopy without the need for endoscopy. The technique and results in five dogs are described.
