Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography of spinal arteriovenous malformations. 1983

J L Doppman, and A G Krudy, and D L Miller, and E Oldfield, and G Di Chiro

Intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in two patients with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas demonstrated the major feeding arteries and the venous drainage of the respective malformations. However, the dural component of the malformations--which distinguishes them from intradural malformations--could not be recognized, nor was normal cord vasculature demonstrated. In a patient with an intradural arteriovenous malformation (AVM), only major arterial feeders were demonstrated. Intraarterial DSA provides essential anatomic information with an increased margin of safety in spinal AVMs, but supplemental selective arteriography, conventional or digital, also is currently required.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000792 Angiography Radiography of blood vessels after injection of a contrast medium. Arteriography,Angiogram,Angiograms,Angiographies,Arteriographies
D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
D013382 Subtraction Technique Combination or superimposition of two images for demonstrating differences between them (e.g., radiograph with contrast vs. one without, radionuclide images using different radionuclides, radiograph vs. radionuclide image) and in the preparation of audiovisual materials (e.g., offsetting identical images, coloring of vessels in angiograms).
