[Venous and arterial digitalised video subtraction angiography (DVSA). Initial experience with 120 examinations (author's transl)].

Digitalised video subtraction angiography permits the demonstration of arteries in the trunk by means of intravenous injection. Initial experience with 120 examinations has demonstrated its usefulness for showing the arteries in the neck, the aorta, the renal arteries, pelvic arteries and arteries in the thigh in between 80 and 90% of cases. Use of the technique during arterial arteriography avoids the need for photographic subtraction and permits a reduction of contrast volume and flow rate. Further clinical experience will be necessary in order to determine the value of the technique.
