High-dose left gastric angiography gave consistent demonstration of esophageal varices in 11 patients. In addition, in comparisons with splenoportography and other types of arterial portography, results of high-dose left gastric angiography were consistently superior. The method is safe and relatively simple and should be used when demonstration of esophageal varices is the object of arterial portography.
