[Phlebography of the lower limb (author's transl)].

Description of the techniques of ascending phlebography and retrograde pressure phlebography of the leg and of means of showing insufficient perforating veins with selective percutaneous or intra-operative injection of contrast-media. Misinterpretation of the deep veins owing to muscular contraction for insufficiently continuous filling is explained. Phlebographic diagnosis of recent phlebothromboses, taking into accout isotope diagnosis, is particularly important for the recognition of post-traumatic so-called masked thromboses. The effectiveness of phlebography for the clarification of neurosegmental angiomatoses is discussed.
