Abstract

Pelvic angiography was performed in 24 patients with primary or secondary tumours. 17 patients were submitted to arteriography and 7 to phlebography of the pelvis veins. An angiographic classification was established and compared to the pre-operative and histopathological results determining tumour staging. These results were compared to those obtained by bimanual palpation under narcosis and demonstrated the significant contribution of angiography in determining the extravesical spreading of bladder tumours.
