Ischaemia, angiogram. Front view of ischaemia (lack of blood flow) in the left shoulder of a 21 year old patient. There are fewer blood vessels visible compared to normal, which is due to a blocked left axillary artery (thicker white line that ends abruptly at centre right) resulting from a road traffic accident. The blockage may be due to a thrombus (blood clot) or embolism (air bubble or loose blood clot). A chest drain (bottom right to upper centre left) and an intubation catheter (vertical lines at top left) are also seen. At centre left is an ECG electrode. An angiogram is an X-ray technique that uses a contrast dye to highlight blood vessels.
