DSA and venography were performed in 13 hepatic carcinomas of central type for the location of the tumor. The procedure was found to clearly show the mass in its relation to hepatic veins. Preoperative demonstration of the landmarks of the hepatic lobes and segments was helpful to accomplish hepatic lobectomy or segmentectomy.
