| Popis: | DESPITE the development of more sophisticated methods of angiography and the introduction of safer contrast media, the complication rate in angiography for cerebrovascular disease remains much greater than for any other condition (3, 7–9, 11, 23). In a country where 200,000 people die each year of cerebrovascular disease, it is of some importance to develop safe methods of angiography. Since none is entirely safe, it is largely a matter of choosing one's complications. First and foremost we must avoid cerebral complications in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Since direct carotid and vertebral angiography are the main source of these, it follows that we should use indirect procedures. The problem has been approached in several ways: subclavian angiography, axillary angiography, brachial artery catheterization, femoral artery catheteriza-tion, brachial artery noncatheter injection, and finally intravenous angiography. Each method has its advocates, advantages, and disadvantages; and in general each c... |
