Arteriography is the complementary diagnostic exam that is still considered to be the gold standard.
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the need for preoperative arteriography of the aortoiliac segment in patients undergoing infrainguinal arterial reconstruction once their previous physical examination evidenced palpable femoral pulse in the affected extremity and their Doppler ultrasonography ruled out any hemodynamically significant lesion in the segment.
Since the images registered by the arteriography are two-dimensional, and atherosclerotic lesions commonly located in the posterior wall of the vessels are three-dimensional, the arteriographic examination usually underestimates the level of stenosis caused by the atherosclerotic plaque.

 ARTERIOGRAPHY
Arteriography, often called coronary angiography, is a testing procedure in which dye visible by X-ray is injected into the bloodstream.
Coronary arteriography is used to evaluate blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
Cerebral arteriography is used to show the extent and location of arteriosclerosis in the brain's major arteries.

Arteriography may still be indicated as it may reveal a structural lesion that bleeds intermittently.

Therefore, data from a national survey of hospital discharges were examined to determine whether rates of carotid endarterectomy and arteriography increased after 1991 and whether race and sex variations in rates have persisted.
After 1985, there was a steady decline in the rate of cerebral arteriography procedures in hospital.
Whites also had higher rates of cerebral arteriography, but the disparity was not as great as for endarterectomy.

 S-147 - Concomitant Arteriography/Venography at the Time of Cardiac Catheterization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Diagnostic arteriography and diagnostic venography are invasive methods of evaluating vascular disease.
A catheter is percutaneously passed into an artery (arteriography) or vein (venography) under fluoroscopic guidance, followed by injection of contrast material and subsequent imaging of the vascular distribution using serial film or digital imaging systems.
Arteriography or venography and vascular interventions (such as angioplasty and stent placement) may be performed on extra-cardiac vessels at the same time as cardiac catheterization.

In the group that had the arteriography, 15 anomalies that would require modification were identified.
In the group who did not have the arteriography, there were two post-op strokes, the rate of wound hematoma was similar, and there was one intra-cerebral hemorrhage.
Allen Sills, of the Semmes-Murphey Clinic, which is associated with the University of Memphis, Texas, said in his presentation that intra-operative arteriography, on average, required less than 10 minutes of additional operating room time, and the cost was less than US$500 per case.

 Screening Coronary Arteriography in the Primary Prevention
If coronary arteriography is to be considered as a screening tool for asymptomatic patients, the arteriographic results must correlate strongly with both the actual presence of disease and with future morbidity and mortality.
Direct correlation of coronary arteriography with pathology is limited to patients with CAD who underwent in vivo coronary arteriography and postmortem examinations.
Thus, arguably, coronary arteriography to detect CAD in the asymptomatic population may be an acceptable diagnostic test despite the finite rate of complications.

 Gastrointestinal hemorrhage in AIDS: arteriographic diagnosis and transcatheter treatment.
The usefulness of arteriography and transcatheter treatment was studied in nine patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Selective arteriography was performed in all patients; transcatheter treatment was performed by means of embolotherapy or selective vasopressin infusion.
In patients with AIDS and profuse gastrointestinal hemorrhage, arteriography often enables identification of a specific site of hemorrhage, which can be stopped with transcatheter treatment.

 AANS: Intra-Operative Arteriography Locates Problem Areas During Endarterectomy
TORONTO, ON -- April 26, 2001 -- Intra-operative arteriography, in which a catheter-mounted camera is inserted into the blood vessels and threaded through a newly repaired carotid artery, has shown that there are more residual occlusions than previously thought.
This method of detection is an improvement over the methods that physicians have used post-operatively, including ultrasound, to determine the success of carotid endarterectomy.
Since this data was gathered, he said, intra-operative arteriography has become standard practice at that hospital, and they are now attempting to collect data to determine longer-term outcomes and see if there is any indication that re-stenosis might be more prevalent among those who had IOA or did not have the procedure initially.

Arteriography is considered to be the standard investigation for peripheral arterial diseases.
All patients had arteriography within a week of duplex scanning by a radiologist who was unaware of the duplex findings, using the Seldinger technique.
The sensitivity and specificity of duplex scanning compared with arteriography in detecting a non significant (less than 50 percent-true positive) and a significant lesion (greater than 50 percent stenosis or occlusion true negative) were calculated.
