Microangiography of the Bladder in Health

Abstract

Summary —Microangiography of the bladder has been studied by the use of a mixture of Micropaque and Hypaque. There appears to be a considerable variation in the vascular supply, not only in different specimens but also in different parts of the same specimen. In general, the base and the lateral walls are more richly supplied than the rest. The vessels seem to form 3 plexuses: extramural, intramural and submucous. In places, moderately large aberrant vessels spring from the 3 plexuses and proceed into the mucosa itself.
