Abstract:
Invasive arterial imaging techniques are crucial to the preoperative evaluation of patients requiring arterial surgery. Venography is important in patients who are candidates for venous reconstruction, and it is also useful in the difficult diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis. The authors discuss the development of angiographic techniques, indications for use, patient preparation, and potential complications. Several examples of these tests are illustrated.
