It is uncommon, however, it is not unusual.

Veins are more fragile than arteries because they have to allow the blood to travel through them at much lower pressures than in arteries. Veins are normally exposed to pressures ranging from about 10-15mmHg in the thorax to about 90mmHg in the lower limbs, compared to pressures above 100mmHg.

In a Cat scan, depending on the study required, iv dye is pushed through either as a bolus at low pressure (for a contrast study) at a venous phase or at a higher pressure (for an angiogram study) which is used to look at arterial phase.

If the pressure used to push the dye through exceeds the capacity of the vein then the vein will blow out. It is difficult to predict whether this will happen although it usually does not happen.

Can you have lots of salt while pregnant?

It is never good to eat a lot of salt at any time, but particularly during pregnancy. During pregnancy, anything you eat will also affect your baby. Whilst an adult can remove salt from their bodies through the kidneys and then in the urine, a fetus does not have the ability to process large amounts of salt and kidney, brain and liver damage can be caused. Too much salt can also lead to high blood pressure, which is already a problem during pregnancy. Also during pregnancy, water retention is quite common and your chances of having water retention are higher if you eat a lot of salt.
