Prosthetic arterial graft occlusion: a complication of tourniquet use during arteriography

RJ Zagoria, VJ D'Souza and ES Sharling
Department of Radiology, Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.

This rare complication can be avoided through use of an alternative such as a chemical vasodilator in patients with susceptible synthetic vascular grafts.
