View of development of angiostructure of traumatized posterior limbs in dogs
Keywords:
arteriography, fracture, dogAbstract
The possibility of radiologic imaging of traumatized angiostructure of the posterior limbs in dogs was investigated. Arteriographic visualization of the
tubular bones in patients with traumatic fractures and patients who underwent conservative or surgical treatment of the fractures, was done. Puncture and
catheterization of the femoral artery were possible only when the artery was surgically exposed. The “Urotrast 75” contrast was administered through a human i.v. cannula placed in the opposite leg up to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta into the iliac arteries. Manual replacement of the cassettes and mechanical injection of the contrast resulted in a satisfactory quality of the arteriographs of the posterior extremities. Arteriography may be used in tubular bone fractures to show severity and localization of dislocation, stenosis, or discontinuation of the arterial blood flow in the traumatized area. Similarly, microvascular changes of the callus may be displayed. The described arteriographic method may also be applied in examination of vascular damage in other anatomic sites.
