title: Visceral angiography. A community hospital experience.
abstract: Selective visceral angiography is well within the ability of small community hospitals. If carefully performed by a well-trained interested radiologist, the procedures carry negligible morbidity and mortality. These studies can provide an exact diagnosis, a working differential or at least enough data to plan a surgical approach with accuracy. Nine cases in which the angiographic diagnosis was vital to the patients' care have been presented.
