Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the extremities has been performed with both intravenous and intraarterial injections of contrast material. Intravenous studies are usually site specific and are limited by contrast material load; a complete intraarterial study with multiple injections of contrast material may be time consuming. A feasibility study to evaluate a DSA technique that would allow table translation and imaging of two contiguous regions following a single injection of contrast material--bolus-chase DSA--was performed. Forty-five examinations were performed, 13 intravenously and 32 intraarterially. Twelve intravenous and 16 intraarterial DSA examinations were totally satisfactory. Inadequate studies were predominantly caused by slow arterial clearance of contrast material in the distal calf and by operator error. Compared with conventional DSA, anatomic studies of lower-extremity vessels could be obtained faster and with lower contrast material loads using bolus-chase DSA.
