Abstract:
Hazards and difficulties of catheter carotid and vertebral angiography are reported. Our experience is based on 257 persons who had undergone 338 carotid and 33 vertebral arteriographies. In 31 patients, bilateral carotid as well as aortic arch and abdominal aortic, iliac and lower limb arteriography were carried out in one session. Our material consists of consecutive cases. The characteristics of the "sidewinder-technique" are emphasized. Several safety measures considered necessary during the examination are described.
