Abstract

The assessment of inoperability of bronchial carcinoma by angiocardiography has received little attention in this country, and it is the purpose of this paper to discuss the value of this investigation by analysing our results in 31 cases at Leicester Chest Unit. Since the introduction of angiocardiography by Robb and Steinberg in 1938 many authors have described its use in the differential diagnosis of lesions of the lungs and mediastinum, but it is not intended to discuss this aspect.
