Published on: June 26, 2020
Abstract:
This paper offers an analysis of possible complications of peripheral arteriography. Complications are considered in terms of the most common fundamental problems: 1) reactions to contrast media; 2) vasovagal response to arterial puncture; 3) local hemorrhage; 4) vein and nerve injuries in vicinity of arterial puncture site; 5) subintimal injection of contrast material; 6) arterial thromboembolism; 7) special problems related to catheters and guide wires; and 8) intravascular injection of foreign substances. The paper also provides ten examples of specific clinical conditions caused by arteriographic procedures. Finally, various safeguards in the prevention of complications are discussed.
