Intravenous digital subtraction angiography: application to cerebrovascular surgery. 1981

J R Little, and A J Furlan, and M T Modic, and B Bryerton, and M A Weinstein

Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was used to evaluate the extracranial and/or intracranial arteries of 87 patients with suspected cerebrovascular disorders. The examinations were performed on either an inpatient or an outpatient basis. Renografin-76 was injected into an arm vein through an angiocatheter. Extracranial examinations accurately demonstrated major artery disease such as carotid artery occlusion, stenosis, and ulceration. Intracranial examinations demonstrated an aneurysm in 9 of 10 patients and an arteriovenous malformation in 5 patients. The technique was useful in assessing the results of cerebrovascular procedures such as carotid endarterectomy, superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass, and the obliteration of vascular anomalies. DSA also excluded the presence of an intrasellar aneurysm and showed the location of the intracranial arteries before trans-sphenoidal surgery. The findings of the DSA examinations correlated closely with the findings of conventional angiography.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D002538 Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.

D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.

D002561 Cerebrovascular Disorders A spectrum of pathological conditions of impaired blood flow in the brain. They can involve vessels (ARTERIES or VEINS) in the CEREBRUM, the CEREBELLUM, and the BRAIN STEM.
