title: [Phlebography of the mediastinum in lung cancer].
abstract: The state of the major mediastinal veins was studied in 113 patients with central cancer of the right lung upper lobe with metastases to the regional lymph nodes. Routine angiography was performed in 92 patients, digital subtraction angiography--in 21 patients. Vascularization was shown to be more common in and adenocarcinoma. The authors identified 2 groups of angiographic signs: marked and doubtful ones. They have been of opinion that only the presence of marked signs can be a contraindication for surgical intervention. The informative value of routine angiography was compared with that of digital subtraction angiography.
