Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography of peripheral arteries with isotonic contrast material
Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) of peripheral arteries with isotonic contrast material, which was prepared by diluting meglumine amidotrizoate (65% Angiografin), was performed in ten patients. In six, both IADSA and conventional screen-film arteriography were performed for comparison. Painless peripheral arteriography was achieved by IADSA with isotonic contrast material. Five IADSAs were safely done on an outpatient basis. Visualization of arteries by IADSA was satisfactory, but the details of smaller arteries were better shown by screen-film arteriography. Visualization of faint stains was better in IADSA. The authors believe that IADSA with isotonic contrast material is a method of choice for the diagnosis of vascular diseases and tumorous conditions of extremities, as well as for the purpose of preoperative vascular mapping. It is safely performed with smaller dose of contrast material on outpatient basis, and with less discomfort and cost for the patient.
