[Angiomorphology of malignant renal parenchymal tumors]
Abstract:
In 60 patients with an average age of 60 years, the essential angiographic findings of renal cell carcinoma were analysed and described in order of their frequency. Localisation, size and vascularisation were evaluated. Involvement of the v. cava inferior and/or of the v. renalis was found with 13% of the tumours on the right and with no tumour on the left side. It is recommended not to perform cavography in case of correct filling of the left renal vein in the late phase of angiography.
