Popis: THE CLINICAL and roentgenographic diagnosis of acute mesenteric vascular occlusion is difficult (2) and frequently delayed, with a resultant high mortality (1). A reliable method is required for the early detection and differentiation of mesenteric venous and arterial obstruction. The purpose of this paper is to report the angiographic findings in dogs subjected to superior mesenteric arteriography after experimental induction of thrombosis of the superior mesenteric vein. Material and Methods Seven mongrel dogs, each weighing 14 to 24 kg, were fasted for twelve hours and then anesthetized with 25 mg of intravenous sodium pentobarbital per kilogram of body weight. An endotracheal tube was inserted, and the animals were ventilated with a Harvard piston respirator (Model 607A). A celiotomy was performed, and in the first 3 dogs a small polyethylene catheter was introduced into the superior mesenteric artery from an arteriotomy in the adjacent aorta. In subsequent dogs the preferable technic was to pass a cu...
