[The arteriography of the liver diseased with Echinococcus alveolaris (author's transl)].
In 2 patients with Echinococcus alveolaris of the liver an angiography of the celiac axis, superior mesenteric artery and -- indirectly -- of the splenic vein was performed. The findings -- obliteration, dislocation, corc screw collaterals -- are not diagnostic. This statement is supplemented by a review of the special literature. The value of an arterial angiography consists in delineating the extent of the process. In this sense the method seems to be superior to a liver scan. Angiography is indicated when curative surgical therapy is discussed.
