Abstract

Inferior mesenteric angiography was performed on 41 patients with rectal carcinoma and 28 of them were followed up for postoperative recurrence. Angiographic findings were classified into 4 groups: AG-AO, AG-A2 and AG-A3. 1) The recurrence rates of AG-AO, AG-A1, AG-A2 and AG-A3 are 0 %, 25.0 %, 25.0 % and 50,0 %. 2) The histologıcal adventitial, venous and lymphatic invasions in AG-A3 were very high. 3) There is not a clear difference in the histological invasions between AG-A1 and AG-A2 (50.0 - 58.3 %). 4) In the case of AG-AO, only venous invasion (50.0 %) was positive.
