We performed intravenous aortography in 26 patients and obtained desired results.
Arm-to-tongue circulation time was measured by means of the preliminary injection of choleretin into cubital vein. Simultaneous injection of small dosis of contrast medium was made for the purpose of detecting side reactions. A total of 100cc of 75 per cent Urokolin M was injected into both cubital veins by means of two fifty cc-syringes with 16 gauge needles. Serial films in one second time interval were taken utilizing Sanchez-Perez Automatic Seriograph Model 110 equipment.
The results were satisfactory with the majority of cases. Seven cases were reported in detail. No serious complication was encountered.
We believe that intravenous aortography has high clinical value in its simplicity and safety, nevertheless the picture obtained may be rather light in density.
