Abstract
PULMONARY angiography is potentially the most positive means for diagnosing thromboembolism of the lung. The importance of such a procedure can hardly be overstated when one is dealing with a diagnosis that is missed more often than it is made1 and in which recurrences may subsequently prove to be fatal. Since current therapy has been shown to improve prognosis significantly2 early diagnosis becomes especially important.The present report was prompted by the successful use of pulmonary angiography in 8 of 11 patients in whom the diagnosis of thromboembolic disease was suspected. Five cases of the group studied are presented in . . .Keywords
