Glucagon-Induced Vasospasm of Hepatic Artery Branches During Visceral Angiography

Authors: T. Scott Dziedzic, Tony P. Smith

Published in: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology | Special Issue 2/2008

Abstract

Glucagon is often used in radiology to decrease bowel motility for enhanced imaging, including visceral digital subtraction angiography. We present a case in which branch hepatic artery vasospasm followed the intravenous administration of glucagon during visceral angiography.
