[Arterial radio-anatomy of the extrahepatic biliary system (author's transl)].
The uni-arterial vascularisation of the lateral bilary duct makes it impossible to systematise the arteries which supply the common bile duct. Only the cystic artery is seen at coelio-mesenteric catheterization. The techniques essential for visualisation of the cystic artery are discussed, on the basis of one hundred coelio-mesenteric arteriograms: frequency of demonstration, origin, course, termination, calibre and length. The frequent finding of opacification of the wall of the gall bladder under normal conditions is stressed.
