Angiography

Angiography

Angiography is used most commonly in the investigation of upper gastrointestinal bleeding not identified using endoscopy . Giulio Bizzozero , 1846–1901, pathologist, University of Turin, Italy . John Robin Warren , b. 1937, pathologist, Royal Perth Hospital, WA, Australia. Barry Marshall , b. 1951, physician, University of Western Australia, WA, Australia. Robert Koch , 1843–1910, Professor of Hygiene and Bacteriology , Berlin, Germany , stated his ‘postulates’ in 1882 that define the conditions that must be met before an organism can be shown to be causative of a particular condition. Therapeutic embolisation may also be of value in the treat - ment of bleeding; in some centres, embolisation has replaced surgery in the majority of cases.
