[Advances in cerebral angiography (author's transl)].

During recent years, catheter angiography of the cerebral vessels has tended to displace direct puncture of the carotid arteries. The method has significant advantages for the radiologist and the patient. A number of procedures are described which make this examination more easily performed, increase its diagnostic value and, most important, render it safer for the patient. Changes in catheter technique, in the radiographic apparatus and in the scope of the method are discussed.

[Clinical light and electron microscopic findings in patients with late and early congestive cardiomyopathies (author's transl)].

Right of left ventricular biopsies were performed in 50 patients with late and early forms of congestive cardiomyopathy. Clinical data as well as light and electron microscopic findings are described. Chronical myocarditis could be detected by histological examination in three patients. Hypertrophy and degenerative changes of the heart muscle cells and interstitial fibrosis were the major morphological finding in the other cases. There is a good correlation between the severity of clinical symptoms and the extent of light and electron microscopical changes. In some patients with mild clinical symptoms advanced ultrastructural alternations were found.

[Experience with the contrast medium Telebrix 300 in neuroradiology (author's transl)].

Clinical experience with a new tri-iodized contrast medium (Telebrix 300) in cerebral angiography is reported. In one of its forms, Telebrix is available as the pure methylglucamine salt of the newly developed ioxitalaminoacid in 66% aqueous solution, with an iodine content of 300 mg/ml. The results of the use of Telebrix 300 in 302 patients examined with over 600 single vascular visualisations (direct puncture and catheter angiography) are communicated. Unforessen incidents with permanent neurological disturbances were not observed. Local and general tolerance of Telebrix 300 is excellent, even after large quantities of the contrast medium (up to 300 ml).
