    The leading causes of limb ischemia are atherosclerosis, inflammatory artery diseases and diabetes. (1) Claudications, a sudden or progressive reduction of walking distance, intense and lasting pain as well as non-healing ulcer formation are the leading symptoms. Maintaining goal values of coagulation and biochemical parameters, prevention of possible contrast allergic reactions, antimicrobial prophylaxis and effective analgesia together with the preparation of intervention fields are essential in preparing patients before the intervention. Post-intervention management of bleeding, pain and renal failure as well as post-intervention monitoring of the affected extremity are the main determinants of nursing interventions. The imaging methods performed at Clinic for Cardiovascular Disease include CT- and MRI- angiography, peripheral angiography via trans-femoral, trans-brachial and trans-radial access. The nurse with all of her knowledge, skills and competence is an active participant in all phases of the above medical intervention, preparation and management.
