| Popis: | Tolazoline hydrochloride (Priscoline) is a useful adjunct to hepatic angiography in the evaluation of space-occupying lesions. It was of definite value in 8 of 26 studies, either in facillitating the diagnosis or in evaluating the extent of disease. The mechanism of enhanced visualization is presumably related to its vasodilatory effect on the small blood vessels of the liver. Priscoline deserves further evaluation in the following situations: (a) a negative hepatic angiogram in the face of positive clinical findings or radionuclide images; (b) suspicious but not definitive findings on conventional hepatic angiography; and (c) assessment of the full extent of disease. |
