The catheter is made of polyurethane, is 65 cm long and is curved. It has a bore of 5 F and is introduced with a wo 32 guide, allowing a flow-rate of 10 ml/sec. The catheter point is polished by chemical means allowing penetration of the arterial wall without preliminary dilatation. This avoids vascular spasm and damage to the vascular wall at the site of puncture.

The antro-pyloro-duodenal circuit was re-established at around the 3rd after ingestion. However, the duodenal fistula caused the formation of encysted pelvic abscesses which were difficult to drain and satisfactorily treat. The clinical course stretched over a period of 4 years.

This abnormality was discovered following weight loss with a strongly positive tuberculin skin test. A plain chest X-ray showed an externally convex opacity filling the aortico-pulmonary space, suggestive of a lymphadenopathy in that area. Pulmonary angiography and selective opacification of the different afferent branches of this abnormal vein defined the territory of drainage of this A.P.V.R.

Their study clearly demonstrates the advantages gained by the use of combined film and screen reinforcer compared to classical radiographic procedures using fine-grain film without screen reinforcers. The quality of the images obtained appeared to them to be equal, if not superior, and this seemed to be confirmed by use in clinical practice. Irradiation doses are about one third of the usual dose. They conclude that it would be of value to use mammographs powered by strong generators, as the irradiation dose, under these conditions, would be reduced even further.

The clinical condition improved in 9 cases out of 10. The authors stress the frequency of arterioportal fistula after punch-biopsy of the liver (60% it arteriography is carried out during the first week). They recall the benign character of these fistulae and their tendency towards spontaneous healing.

They conclude that the scintiscan images are essentially the reflection of cortical vascularization and that its duration, as determined by the scintiscan, is roughly equal to the mean transit time of the indicator employed (Tc). Arterial stenosis cannot be demonstrated by scintiscans using technetium.

Diverticuli of the trachea are usually found during a simple systematic radiological examination, or when an established pulmonary condition is being investigated. Routine bronchography, alone, or associated with a tomograph, can be used to demonstrate its characteristics and precise location. Bronchoscopy may then be carried out in order to study the area surrounding the diverticular orifice more closely, and to establish the condition of its mucous lining. Several evolutive stages are involved in the pathogenesis of tracheal diverticuli, varying from a rudimentary bronchiole to megalotrachea, which, for many authors, is an autonomous condition because of its anatomical and pathological make-up, producing its own well-defined symptomatology.

Its interest is twofold: a) After a complete endoscopic and operative examination of the GI tract proved negative, an emergency superior mesenteric angiography was the only investigation which allowed to recognize the site and mechanism of the bleeding; b) from a nosologic point of view, the clinico-pathological picture was entirely similar to that of "Dieulafoy's erosion", a syndrome which has been only described, up to now, in the gastric mucosa.

The authors present the observation of a little girl of 12 years who presented a complete cystic dilatation ob biliary tract, diagnosed before the operation by intravenous biligraphy. This association of intra and extra hepatic cystic dilatation has been described in 1964 by Arthur and Stuart, and the diagnosis is to be done by intraveinous biligraphy in 30% of cases.
