Routine Celiac Angiography in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract
Celiac and/or superior mesenteric angiography was done routinely in association with renal angiography on 115 patients with renal cell carcinoma. Metastases were demonstrated in 20 patients on extended angiography. In 10 of these patients no other signs of metastatic disease were noted at diagnosis. In the total clinical diagnostic study metastatic spread was present in 41 patients.
