title: [Angiography in acute gactrointestinal hemorrhage].
abstract: The indications for and diagnostic value of visceral angiography in 30 cases of acute gastrointestinal bleeding are discussed. In one third of these emergency angiograms the etiology of the bleeding could not be demonstrated. In two thirds of the cases the source of bleeding was successfully localized. In half the positive angiograms the bleeding site was shown directly in the form of extravasation of contrast, while in the remaining half pathological findings were demonstrated without evidence of contrast media extravasation.
