A flush catheter is placed into the aorta at the T12-L1 junction and a complete AP abdominal aortogram taken.Normal arteries are not visualized in keeping with his end-stage renal disease. Infrarenal aorta is atherosclerotic but not aneurysmal. A removable type IVC filter is noted. Catheter is brought down to the L4-L5 iliac bifurcation and a pelvic angiogram taken.This demonstrates patency of bilateral common Iliac arteries, external iliac arteries and internal iliac arteries. External iliac arteries are ectatic.Catheter is then brought down to the level of the right common femoral artery and a selective right lower extremity angiogram taken.This demonstrates patency of the common femoral profunda femoris and proximal SFA.
