Arteriography of upper and lower limbs will be needed when clinical and conventional radiologic examinations have not established definite diagnoses. Angiography of the upper and lower limbs is particularly important for congenital dysplasias (16 cases) or for diagnosis of tumors (15 cases). Traumatic vascular lesions needed angiography in 18 instances. In hemodialysis for acute renal failure, exogenous intoxication or terminal renal failure the vessels undergo severe strains with various complications. Angiography will have to clear up questions of circulation. Using special instruments for children will avoid risks for them. Angiography represents an important aid which makes exact diagnosis possible in the majority of cases.
