Figure 6

The pseudovein sign in gastrointestinal hemorrhage. A: Superior mesenteric artery arteriogram shows a branching contrast collection (black arrows), overlying the gastric air shadow. The collection has the appearance of a vascular structure such as a vein; B: A later image in the arterial injection shows that the collection (black arrowhead) has a more amorphous appearance, and represents extravasation. The former appearance is an example of the “pseudovein sign”.
