Selective intraarterial steroid injection in ulcerative colitis.
Angiography was performed in 11 patients with ulcerative colitis and prednisolone injected directly into the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries in 10 patients. Hypervascularity of the affected regions was a common finding, but early venous filling was noted in only 5 cases out of 11. Good results were obtained by intra-arterial steroid injections.
