title: Angiography in carcinoma of the renal pelvis and the ureter.
abstract: Angiographic findings in 21 cases of renal pelvic carcinoma are presented. Important characteristics include neovascularity, visible capillary phase, vascular encasement, wide pelviureteric artery and absence of arteriovenous shunting. Angiography may also be of value for the differential diagnosis of ureteric obstruction as demonstrated in 5 of 6 patients with carcinoma of the ureter.
