Hepatic angiography in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. 1977

P Jaques, and D Delany

Three patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding and characteristic radiologic findings of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia are described. Emphasis is placed not only on the angiodysplasia evident from abdominal angiography, but also on the demonstration by the chest radiograph of a chronic mild hyperdynamic state.
