[Indirect lymphography of the urinary bladder in animal experiments (author's transl)].
Of three contrast media injected interdigitally and submucosally as well as instilled into the bladder, Lipiodol UF (particle size of over 15 micron) and the experimental compound AG 52-315 were not resorbed. Another experimental compound (AG 60-99) with an iodine content of 20% and a particle size of ca. 3,5 micron produced, when injected interdigitally, good contrast of the popliteal lymph nodes in all cases (n = 5). Instillation of the same contrast medium into the bladders of five dogs yielded subdued contrast of the paravesicular lymph nodes in one case. Of still another five animals, two showed contrast of the inner iliac lymph nodes after submucosal infiltration of the bladder mucosa with AG 60-99. In all cases (n = 15) inflammatory reaction with necrotic formations were observed. Resorption of the contrast medium was accomplished by heating at 39 degrees C, and was not improved by addition of Hyaluronidase. Because of the low local tolerance of the contrast medium preparation, this successful experiment in indirect lymphography of the urinary bladder of animals cannot be applied clinically.
