Abstract

Between 10 February 1983 and 9 November 1984 482 patients were investigated by digital subtraction angiography, mainly for carotid arterial disease and problems associated with transplanted kidneys. The use of abdominal compression and antispasmodics are essential to minimize bowel artefacts for intraabdominal arterial examinations. The apparatus is advantageous for interventional radiologists. Images are immediately seen, can be stored on analogue tape, digitalized and obtained with smaller volumes of contrast medium and without arterial catheterization. Movement artefacts, however, can cause problems.

Transhepatic vascular access for diagnostic and interventional procedures: techniques, outcome, and complications.

Early or multiple cardiac catheterizations may result in occlusion of the femoral veins prohibiting their use. The internal jugular or sub-clavian approach may be an appropriate alternative. However, these approaches may not be suitable in patients with surgical interruption of the superior vena cava. In other patients, they may not allow easy access to certain areas of the heart. The transhepatic approach is an important alternative route for performing cardiac catheterization and interventions. Depending on the planned procedure, it may be the preferred route to perform the cardiac catheterization even in the presence of patent femoral veins. The indications, technical details and potential complications of this approach are discussed.

Embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture in a patient with persistent sciatic artery.

Emergency embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture was performed in a patient with persistent sciatic artery, a rare anatomic variation in which the internal iliac artery continues to the popliteal artery. Successful hemostasis was achieved without complications by means of selective catheterization into each branch of the internal iliac artery. Awareness of this unusual vascular anatomy is critically important to avoid serious complication of emergency embolization.
