ABSTRACT

Widespread introduction of intervention radiology (X-ray control in real time the image of an operational field which is constantly irradiated during operation) in medical practice in the last decades led to emergence in English literature of descriptions of the local radiation injuries which have developed in areas of a projection of a X-ray beam owing to carrying out procedures of endovascular surgery. In Russian literature of similar clinical supervision it wasn’t found. Article is devoted to representation of own experience of supervision over two patients with consequences of the acute local radiation injuries which have developed at carrying out endovascular procedures.

Key words: intervention radiology, endovascular surgery, radiation complications, x-ray radiation, local radiation injuries, late radiation ulcers
