In my hospital, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) using 64-slice scanners has completely replaced conventional angiography as the initial diagnostic imaging test of choice for patients with peripheral vascular disease. Currently, conventional angiography is performed concurrently with treatment or, in rare patients in whom cross-sectional imaging presents with equivocal findings, in the face of strong clinical suspicion.
