Abstract:
The diagnostic possibilities of intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were evaluated in 2393 patients. The diagnostic value was 97.2%. DSA is contraindicated via the subclavian vein in children, inadequate preparation of the patients, vein abnormalities. The informative value was 92% in vasorenal hypertension, 100% in renal abnormalities, 85% in renal tumours. Intravenous DSA may be a screening method in the diagnosis of hypertension of unclear etiology, abnormalities of the upper urinary tract, while in tumours, especially of small size, DSA is a supplementary method to ultrasound and CT. The method is of economic importance.
