[Control of reconstructive vascular surgery using digital subtraction angiography (DSA)].

100 patients were evaluated by DSA after vessel reconstructions by surgery or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The visualization of the proved vessels was very good or good in 92%, sufficient in 6% and without diagnostic value in 2%. Patency of grafts and postoperative vascular abnormalities like stenoses, occlusions or aneurysms were well demonstrated. According to our results, DSA is an excellent semi-invasive method with a high accuracy for postoperative evaluation of vascular reconstructions.
