“…On the other hand, displacement of a blood vessel within the pancreas is a relatively uncertain sign of a tumour, provided that no very large pancreatic tumour is present, for example a pancreatic cyst. In agreement with Sammons et al (13) and Lunderquist (6), our study confirms that the variation in the vascular anatomy is considerable.…”

Angiography of the pancreas and the liver was performed in 69 patients, and in about 85% there was a good correlation between the angiographic findings and the results of operations or autopsies. The difficulties are greatest in diagnosis of carcinoma of the pancreas and of mall metastasis of the liver. A relatively low concentration of the contrast medium was used and did not diminish the angiographic information.

“…The method was first employed to evaluate renal trauma about 1957.8 Since then, several authors have found angiography valuable in assessing the degree of renal damage. 3 4,5,6,13 The use of angiography in splenic and hepatic trauma has been described in several survey articles concerning celiac angiography.1,11, 16 Boijsen et al 2 and Pollard et all5 have dealt specifically with the findings in injury of these organs. Because of the difficulty of accurately defining the nature and extent of such visceral injury by clinical and plain roentgenographic methods, we have increasingly used angiography as a part of the evaluation of abdominal trauma.…”

Angiography in Abdominal Trauma

1969

ANGIOGRAPHY has been used only recently in the investigation of blunt abdominal trauma. May 20, 1968. plete examination usually requires 30-45 minutes.Angiograms have been performed in 29 patients with abdominal trauma. Damage to the spleen was suspected clinically in 18 patients, to the liver in seven, and to the kidney in seven. In two patients, both splenic and renal damage were suspected, and in one patient, both splenic and hepatic damage were suspected. In addition to the angiograms, clinical histories of these patients and the plain roentgenograms have been evaluated to determine their relative diagnostic value. ResultsOf the 29 patients, 12 had normal angiograms. These patients were all treated conservatively and their subsequent course confirmed the angiographic impression. Thus, no known false negative results were obtained.Angiograms which were positive for trauma included eight splenic, six renal, and three liver injuries in 17 patients. Sixteen were operated upon following angiography. One patient with renal damage was treated conservatively. The operative findings confirmed the angiographic diagnosis in all but one patient, who had suspected damage. The diagnosis of visceral injury was thus correct in 28 of 29 patients. The results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.

“…Since these initial studies selective arteriography has become a well recognized diagnostic procedure in pancreatic disease (Lunderquist, 1965), hepatic tumours (Stulberg and Bierman, 1965;Kreel, 1968), in demonstrating the portal vein (Boijsen), Ekman, and Olin, 1963;Kreel and Williams, 1964), and in various splenic conditions (Rosch, 1966). The radiological signs in these various conditions have been summarized in a comprehensive study based on more than 900 cases by Sammons, Neal, Armstrong, and Hager (1967). The value of hepatic arteriography has also been shown in the recognition of characteristic arterial patterns in cirrhosis (Acker, Galambos, and Weens, 1964).…”
