Translumbar aortography was described by dos Santos, Lamas, and Caldas (1) in 1929, and was popularized in the United States for urological diagnosis by Doss, Thomas, and Bond (2) and Nelson (3). Cardiovascular surgeons were quick to recognize its importance in planning operations on the aorta and its major branches, and aortography was adapted to the investigation of vascular disease.Increasing application of translumbar aortography subsequently was followed by isolated, then more frequent reports of its complications, and these...References1.
