title: The use of Prostaglandin F2 Alpha in selective visceral angiography.
abstract: Prostaglandin F2 Alpha has been used in 33 superior mesenteric and ten splenic  angiographic studies. In each instance, improved anatomic detail was obtained after injection of the Prostaglandin. Unlike other vasodilating drugs, the use of Prostaglandin F2 Alpha improved the arterial as well as the venous phase of each study. No systemic haemodynamic changes or significant side effects were observed after injecting the drug, and it appears that Prostaglandin F2 Alpha is an ideal choice as a pharmacologic aid in angiography.
