title: Angiography of pheochromocytomas.
abstract: In 24 patients with a pheochromocytoma, angiography revealed a multiple localization in 20%, extra-adrenal localization in 20%, and insufficient information supplied by aortography in 25%. On the basis of this experience, several proposals are advanced for optimal execution of the vascular study, including retrograde phlebography of apparently normal adrenal glands and application of the subtraction technique.
