    Summary

    Serious complications from leg and pelvic phlebography, including fatal pulmonary embolus and foot necrosis, are rare but significant. Careful technique is crucial to prevent contrast extravasation and subsequent tissue damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Imaging
    • Radiology

    Context:

    • Leg and pelvic phlebography are diagnostic procedures.
    • Complications can arise during these procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To describe rare but serious complications of leg and pelvic phlebography.
    • To discuss the causes and pathogenetic factors of these complications.

    Summary:

    • One fatal pulmonary embolus and six cases of foot necrosis were observed.
    • Extravasation of contrast, particularly near the ankle, can lead to tissue necrosis.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the risks associated with phlebography.
    • Emphasizes the importance of meticulous technique to minimize patient harm.
