Sonographic follow-up of the access site after arterial angiography: Impact on the detected complication rate.

Objective: This study prospectively evaluated the impact of sonographic follow-up on the detection rate of access site complications in arterial angiography and determined parameters associated with major complications of the access site after arterial angiography.

Methods: Sonographic follow-up (mean +/- SD, 1.46 +/- 1.

This clinical report discusses the case of a child with brainstem infarction and basilar artery fenestration. A cardiac source of thromboembolic events could be excluded; however, detailed coagulation analysis revealed in addition an apoliopoprotein(a) size polymorphism.
