Changes in canine bladder perfusion with distension.
Using a radioisotope-labeled microsphere technique, canine bladder perfusion was investigated. Blood flow was measured in in flaccid and distended conditions. A slight decrease in total bladder blood flow was recorded. There was a relative decrease in bladder mucosal flow with distension. There was no difference in perfusion of dome versus trigone.
