  • Title: [Studies on the risk of complications in transfemoral arteriography in infancy (author's transl)].
    Author: Steckenmesser R, Sauerwein H.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Oct 14; 119(41):1339-42. PubMed ID: 412066.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of restricted circulation were found during follow-up examination of 42 infants after arteriography. In 3 of the 4 patients with restricted circulation, arteriotomy with vascular suture had preceded or had been performed in direct association with the arteriography. This strengthened the suspicion that such additional manipulations increase the risk of restricted circulation as a sequel to arteriography. Restricted circulation following Seldinger's method of transfemoral arteriography in children occurs more frequently than would be assumed from the collected statistics. The indication for angiography in infancy must be strictly given, for this reason.
