Abstract
Angiography was performed in cases with gastric diseases for the purpose of determining the clinical significance in comparison with histologic assessment. In carcinoma of the stomach, neoplastic vascularity and tumor stain are demonstrated in the area corresponding to the main lesion. The tumor stain is dependent upon the stage and histologic pattern of the carcinoma. As a carcinoma advances, neoplastic vascularity and tumor stain are replaced by displacement, stenosis and disruption of the gastric blood vessels. Angiography of the stomach gives additional information not anticipated from the barium study as regards the gastric serous membrane, and is very helpful in the diagnosis of intramural gastric tumors, extragastric tumors, and such anomalies as organo-axial rotation and volvulus of the stomach.
