title: Glucagon-induced vasospasm of hepatic artery branches during visceral angiography.
abstract: Glucagon is often used in radiology to decrease bowel motility for enhanced imaging, including visceral digital subtraction angiography. We present a case in which branch hepatic artery vasospasm followed the intravenous administration of glucagon during visceral angiography.
