title: [Differential diagnosis of gallbladder distention by angiography (author's transl)].
abstract: The angiography alterations of 42 cases with gallbladder distention in inflammatory or malignant disease are compared with 44 those of gallbaldder distension in distal occlusion of the common bile duct. Branches of the cystic artery were more frequent and wider in patients with gallbladder disease than those with distal common duct occlusion. In the first group, there is more often accumulation of contrast medium in the gallbladder wall, and the opacified wall is wider than in common duct obstruction. Tumor vessels are observed in 50% of malignant gallbladder disease, significant difference in the diameter of the cystic artery trunc could not be found.
