    Sciatic nerve block combined with femoral nerve block is effective for extremity arteriography. This anesthetic approach proved safe, with no complications in 17 patients undergoing the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Peripheral nerve blocks are crucial for regional anesthesia in vascular procedures.
    • Fluoroscopic guidance enhances the precision and safety of nerve block placement.
    • Arteriography of the extremities requires effective pain management and anesthesia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sciatic nerve block combined with femoral nerve block for unilateral extremity arteriography.
    • To assess the utility of this anesthetic technique in patients with unilateral femoral or occlusive arteriography.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 17 patients undergoing unilateral femoral or occlusive arteriography of the extremities was studied.
    • Sciatic nerve block was performed under fluoroscopic guidance.

  • Femoral nerve block was administered in conjunction with the sciatic nerve block.

    • Main Results:

    • The combined anesthetic technique was found to be effective for the studied arteriographic procedures.
    • No complications were reported in any of the 17 patients who received the nerve blocks.

    Conclusions:

    • Sciatic nerve block with femoral nerve block provides an effective and safe anesthetic option for extremity arteriography.
    • This technique is well-tolerated and complication-free in patients undergoing unilateral femoral or occlusive arteriography.
