Angiography, Digital Subtraction: A method of delineating blood vessels by subtracting a tissue background image from an image of tissue plus intravascular contrast material that attenuates the X-ray photons. The background image is determined from a digitized image taken a few moments before injection of the contrast material. The resulting angiogram is a high-contrast image of the vessel. This subtraction technique allows extraction of a high-intensity signal from the superimposed background information. The image is thus the result of the differential absorption of X-rays by different tissues.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).Magnetic Resonance Angiography: Non-invasive method of vascular imaging and determination of internal anatomy without injection of contrast media or radiation exposure. The technique is used especially in CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY as well as for studies of other vascular structures.Cerebral Angiography: Radiography of the vascular system of the brain after injection of a contrast medium.Angiography: Radiography of blood vessels after injection of a contrast medium.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. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p841)Coronary Angiography: Radiography of the vascular system of the heart muscle after injection of a contrast medium.Radiographic Image Enhancement: Improvement in the quality of an x-ray image by use of an intensifying screen, tube, or filter and by optimum exposure techniques. Digital processing methods are often employed.Imaging, Three-Dimensional: The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic, photographic, or other methods. For example, three-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.Contrast Media: Substances used to allow enhanced visualization of tissues.Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations: Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES.

It has been used in the treatment of spinal cord and INTRACRANIAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS, renal arteriovenous fistulas, gastrointestinal bleeding, epistaxis, hypersplenism, certain highly vascular tumors, traumatic rupture of blood vessels, and control of operative hemorrhage.Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)Carotid Artery, Internal: Branch of the common carotid artery which supplies the anterior part of the brain, the eye and its appendages, the forehead and nose.Image Processing, Computer-Assisted: A technique of inputting two-dimensional images into a computer and then enhancing or analyzing the imagery into a form that is more useful to the human observer.Aneurysm, Ruptured: The tearing or bursting of the weakened wall of the aneurysmal sac, usually heralded by sudden worsening pain. The great danger of a ruptured aneurysm is the large amount of blood spilling into the surrounding tissues and cavities, causing HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK.Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations: Congenital, inherited, or acquired abnormalities involving ARTERIES; VEINS; or venous sinuses in the BRAIN; SPINAL CORD; and MENINGES.Arterial Occlusive Diseases: Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.Carotid Stenosis: Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp 822-3)Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture.

Its low systemic toxicity is the combined result of low chemotoxicity and low osmolality.Salivary Gland Calculi: Calculi occurring in a salivary gland. Most salivary gland calculi occur in the submandibular gland, but can also occur in the parotid gland and in the sublingual and minor salivary glands.Reproducibility of Results: The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.Fluorescein Angiography: Visualization of a vascular system after intravenous injection of a fluorescein solution. The images may be photographed or televised. It is used especially in studying the retinal and uveal vasculature.Iopamidol: A non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiological procedures.Ultrasonography, Doppler, Duplex: Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect combined with real-time imaging. The real-time image is created by rapid movement of the ultrasound beam. A powerful advantage of this technique is the ability to estimate the velocity of flow from the Doppler shift frequency.Observer Variation: The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).Constriction, Pathologic: The condition of an anatomical structure's being constricted beyond normal dimensions.Ultrasonography, Doppler, Color: Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with the superposition of flow information as colors on a gray scale in a real-time image. This type of ultrasonography is well-suited to identifying the location of high-velocity flow (such as in a stenosis) or of mapping the extent of flow in a certain region.Radiographic Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted: Computer systems or networks designed to provide radiographic interpretive information.Radiography, Dental, Digital: A rapid, low-dose, digital imaging system using a small intraoral sensor instead of radiographic film, an intensifying screen, and a charge-coupled device. It presents the possibility of reduced patient exposure and minimal distortion, although resolution and latitude are inferior to standard dental radiography. A receiver is placed in the mouth, routing signals to a computer which images the signals on a screen or in print. It includes digitizing from x-ray film or any other detector. (From MEDLINE abstracts; personal communication from Dr. Charles Berthold, NIDR)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.Cerebral Arteries: The arterial blood vessels supplying the CEREBRUM.Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency: Localized or diffuse reduction in blood flow through the vertebrobasilar arterial system, which supplies the BRAIN STEM; CEREBELLUM; OCCIPITAL LOBE; medial TEMPORAL LOBE; and THALAMUS. Characteristic clinical features include SYNCOPE; lightheadedness; visual disturbances; and VERTIGO. BRAIN STEM INFARCTIONS or other BRAIN INFARCTION may be associated.X-Ray Intensifying Screens: Screens which absorb the energy in the x-ray beam that has penetrated the patient and convert this energy into a light pattern which has as nearly as possible the same information as the original x-ray beam. The more light a screen produces for a given input of x-radiation, the less x-ray exposure and thus shorter exposure time are needed to expose the film. In most film-screen systems, the film is sandwiched between two screens in a cassette so that the emulsion on each side is exposed to the light from its contiguous screen.Artifacts: Any visible result of a procedure which is caused by the procedure itself and not by the entity being analyzed. Common examples include histological structures introduced by tissue processing, radiographic images of structures that are not naturally present in living tissue, and products of chemical reactions that occur during analysis.Carotid Artery Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the CAROTID ARTERIES, including the common, internal, and external carotid arteries. ATHEROSCLEROSIS and TRAUMA are relatively frequent causes of carotid artery pathology.Predictive Value of Tests: In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.Gadolinium DTPA: A complex of gadolinium with a chelating agent, diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA see PENTETIC ACID), that is given to enhance the image in cranial and spinal MRIs.

The anterior tibial artery begins at the lower border of the popliteus muscle and lies along the tibia at the distal part of the leg to surface superficially anterior to the ankle joint. Its branches are distributed throughout the leg, ankle, and foot. The posterior tibial artery begins at the lower border of the popliteus muscle, lies behind the tibia in the lower part of its course, and is found situated between the medial malleolus and the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity. Its branches are distributed throughout the leg and foot.Retrospective Studies: Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past.

The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.Coronary Disease: An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow.

Combined carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass graft. (1/1139)

Atherosclerosis is a generalized disease which afflicts a considerable number of patients in both the carotid and coronary arteries. Although the risk of stroke or death use to combined carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is thought to be higher than that of each individual operation, the combined procedure is generally preferred over staged operations to treat such patients. We performed the combined procedure safely with the aid of intraoperative portable digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This report describes our experience with the operative strategy of simultaneous CEA and CABG. Ninety CEA and 404 CABG were carried out between January 1989 and December 1997. A total of six patients received the combined procedure with the aid of intraoperative DSA; they were studied retrospectively. Postoperative mortality and morbidity after the combined procedure was 0%. In the combined procedure, neurological complications are difficult to detect after CEA because the patient must be maintained under general anesthesia and extracorporeal circulation during the subsequent CABG. However, intraoperative DSA can confirm patency of the internal carotid artery and absence of flap formation after CEA, and the CABG can be performed safely. Intraoperative portable DSA between CEA and CABG is helpful in preventing perioperative stroke in the combined procedure.  (+info)

Popliteal artery occlusion as a late complication of liquid acrylate embolization for cerebral vascular malformation. (2/1139)

Occlusion of arteriovenous malformations of the brain (BAVMs) by means of an endovascular approach with liquid acrylate glue is an established treatment modality. The specific hazards of this procedure are related to the central nervous system. In the case of unexpectedly rapid polymerization of the cyanoacrylate glue and adhesion of the delivering microcatheter to the BAVM, severing the catheter at the site of vascular access is considered an acceptable and safe management. We present a unique complication related to this technique that has not been described yet. Fragmentation and migration of the microcatheter, originally left in place, had caused popliteal artery occlusion, which required saphenous vein interposition, in a 25-year-old man. Suggestions for avoiding this complication are discussed.  (+info)

Factors influencing the development of vein-graft stenosis and their significance for clinical management. (3/1139)

OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of clinical and graft factors on the development of stenotic lesions. In addition the implications of any significant correlation for duplex surveillance schedules or surgical bypass techniques was examined. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a prospective three centre study, preoperative and peroperative data on 300 infrainguinal autologous vein grafts was analysed. All grafts were monitored by a strict duplex surveillance program and all received an angiogram in the first postoperative year. A revision was only performed if there was evidence of a stenosis of 70% diameter reduction or greater on the angiogram. RESULTS: The minimum graft diameter was the only factor correlated significantly with the development of a significant graft stenosis (PSV-ratio > or = 2.5) during follow-up (p = 0.002). Factors that correlated with the development of event-causing graft stenosis, associated with revision or occlusion, were minimal graft diameter (p = 0.001), the use of a venovenous anastomosis (p = 0.005) and length of the graft (p = 0.025). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the minimal graft diameter was the only independent factor that significantly correlated with an event-causing graft stenosis (p = 0.009). The stenosis-free rates for grafts with a minimal diameter < 3.5 mm, between 3.5-4.5 and > or = 4.5 mm were 40%, 58% and 75%, respectively (p = < 0.05). Composite vein and arm-vein grafts with minimal diameters > or = 3.5 mm were compared with grafts which consisted of a single uninterrupted greater saphenous vein with a minimal diameter of < 3.5 mm. One-year secondary patency rates in these categories were of 94% and 76%, respectively (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: A minimal graft diameter < 3.5 mm was the only factor that significantly correlated with the development of a graft-stenosis. However, veins with larger diameters may still develop stenotic lesions. Composite vein and arm-vein grafts should be used rather than uninterrupted small caliber saphenous veins.  (+info)

Bilateral vertebral artery occlusion following cervical spine trauma--case report. (4/1139)

A 41-year-old female presented with a rare case of bilateral vertebral artery occlusion following C5-6 cervical spine subluxation after a fall of 30 feet. Digital subtraction angiography showed occlusion of the bilateral vertebral arteries. Unlocking of the facet joint, posterior wiring with iliac crest grafting, and anterior fusion were performed. The patient died on the 3rd day after the operation. This type of injury has a grim prognosis with less than a third of the patients achieving a good outcome.  (+info)

Evaluation of cerebral aneurysms with high-resolution MR angiography using a section-interpolation technique: correlation with digital subtraction angiography. (5/1139)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The objective was to evaluate the results of high-resolution, fast-speed, section-interpolation MR angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), thereby examining the potential use of a primary noninvasive screening test for intracranial aneurysms. METHODS: The images were obtained in 39 cerebral aneurysmal lesions from 30 patients with a time-of-flight MR angiographic technique using a 1.5-T superconducting MR system. The total image volume was divided into four slabs, with 48 partitions each. To save time, only 24 phase-encoded steps were measured and interpolated to 48. The parameters used included 30/6.4 (TR/TE), a flip angle of 25 degrees , a 160x512 matrix, a field of view of 150x200, 7 minutes 42 seconds of scan time, an effective thickness of 0.7 mm, and an entire thickness of 102.2 mm. Maximum intensity projection was used for the image analysis, and a multiplanar reconstruction technique was used for patients with intracranial aneurysms. RESULTS: Among 39 intracranial aneurysmal lesions in 30 patients, 21 were ruptured and 18 were unruptured. Twelve lesions were less than 2 mm in size, 12 were 3 to 5 mm, 12 were 6 to 9 mm, and three were larger than 10 mm. At initial examinations, 38 of 39 aneurysmal lesions were detected by both MR angiography and DSA, with 97% sensitivity. In confirming aneurysms in neck and parent vessels, multiplanar reconstruction was successful in detecting all 39 aneurysms, whereas MR angiography was successful in detecting 27 (69%) and DSA was successful in detecting 32 (82%) of the lesions. CONCLUSION: High-resolution MR angiography with a section-interpolation technique showed equal results to those of DSA for the detection of intracranial aneurysms and may be used as a primary noninvasive screening test. In the evaluation of aneurysms in neck and parent vessels, the concurrent use of MR angiography and multiplanar reconstruction was far superior to the use of either MR angiography or DSA alone.  (+info)

Twinkling artifact on intracerebral color Doppler sonography. (6/1139)

Transcranial Doppler sonography shows potential as a noninvasive technique for long-term follow-up of treated intracranial saccular aneurysms. This technical note describes a color Doppler artifact related to microcoil architecture that might represent a potential pitfall in transcranial Doppler sonographic evaluation of aneurysmal cavity thrombosis, since it may be wrongly interpreted as residual flow or aneurysmal cavity recanalization.  (+info)

Cerebral veins: comparative study of CT venography with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography. (7/1139)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our objective was to compare the reliability of CT venography with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in imaging cerebral venous anatomy and pathology. METHODS: In 25 consecutive patients, 426 venous structures were determined as present, partially present, or absent by three observers evaluating CT multiplanar reformatted (MPR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP) images. These results were compared with the results from intraarterial DSA and, in a second step, with the results of an intraobserver consensus. In addition, pathologic conditions were described. RESULTS: Using DSA as the standard of reference, MPR images had an overall sensitivity of 95% (specificity, 19%) and MIP images a sensitivity of 80% (specificity, 44%) in depicting the cerebral venous anatomy. On the basis of an intraobserver consensus including DSA, MPR, and MIP images (415 vessels present), the sensitivity/specificity was 95%/91% for MPR, 90%/100% for DSA, and 79%/91% for MIP images. MPR images were superior to DSA images in showing the cavernous sinus, the inferior sagittal sinus, and the basal vein of Rosenthal. Venous occlusive diseases were correctly recognized on both MPR and MIP images. Only DSA images provided reliable information of invasion of a sinus by an adjacent meningioma. CONCLUSION: CT venography proved to be a reliable method to depict the cerebral venous structures. MPR images were superior to MIP images.  (+info)

A persistent pharyngohyostapedial artery: embryologic implications. (8/1139)

A 3-year-old child was examined because of otorrhagia. CT scans showed an unusual vessel, confirmed by angiography, related to a persistent pharyngohyostapedial artery. This embryonic persistent artery associated with the normal internal carotid artery would explain the "duplication" aspect of the internal carotid artery.  (+info)

Plus it  Plus it
Comparisons between digital subtraction angiography and conventional angiography have frequently been made in the radiologic literature, and the high quality and several advantages of the former have been reported. In this study, 101 patients with intracranial aneurysms were examined only by intraarterial digital subtraction angiography; no conventional angiography was used. High-quality images were consistently obtained, facilitating an accurate and definitive diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm. Magnification radiography and stereography using intraarterial digital subtraction angiography were done to obtain a more precise diagnosis. Five small intracranial aneurysms with diameters of 1.0 to 2.0 mm could be detected. The procedure was considered to be as reliable and as safe as conventional angiography, used previously. Important advantages of intraarterial digital subtraction angiography include reduced procedural time and decreased contrast agent burden, factors that will ensure broader ...

RESULTS. There were 27 patients (14 male, 13 female) with a mean age of 62 (range, 44-77) years. There were 10 patients with renal transplants; their native renal arteries were not evaluated. Each of the two experienced interventional and body magnetic resonance radiologists, who were blinded to the results, reviewed the digital subtraction angiography and magnetic resonance angiography images respectively. Digital subtraction angiography was used as the standard of reference. A total of 39 renal arteries from these 27 patients were evaluated. One of the arteries was previously stented and could not be assessed with magnetic resonance angiography due to severe artefacts. Of the remaining 38 renal arteries, two were graded as normal, seven as having mild stenosis (=50% but =75%). Magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography were concordant in 89% of the arteries; magnetic resonance angiography overestimated the degree of stenosis in 8% and underestimated it in 3% of them.

Temporal interpolation of low-frame-rate digital subtraction angiograms | (1996) | Hsiung | Publications | Spie  Temporal interpolation of low-frame-rate digital subtraction angiograms | (1996) | Hsiung | Publications | Spie
Typical digital subtraction angiography (DSA) acquisition rates are often inadequate for visualizing and analyzing fast-moving flow patterns. Therefore, an interpolation method that captures the angiographic flow pattern was developed. The temporal change of gray value in each pixel along a blood vessel records the flow movement at that location. Thus, temporal interpolation was performed on a pixel-by-pixel basis. To generate each interpolated image, a polynomial interpolation was applied to six sequential images. To validate the interpolation technique, a flow phantom was imaged with a high acquisition frame rate, and interpolation was done in a lower frame rate and compared to the acquired data. The interpolated images were also compared to results from linear interpolation and cubic spline interpolation. Clinical utility was illustrated on DSA images of cerebral vasculature with aneurysms. Image sequences of 60 frame/s were generated from DSA images acquired at 7.5 frame/s. The results show ...

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided vascular interventions are of increasing interest, and, with the use of contrast-enhanced techniques, intraarterial contrast-enhanced MR angiography (ia-ce-MRA) competes with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (ia-DSA) for the diagnostic evaluation of the infrainguinal vessel tree. PURPOSE: To assess the diagnostic value of ia-ce-MRA and high-resolution T1-weighted (hr-T1w) imaging compared to the gold-standard ia-DSA for residual stenosis and local dissections after femoropopliteal recanalization in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight patients with PAOD and short vessel occlusion of their femoropopliteal arteries underwent recanalization and balloon positioning under DSA. Patients were transferred to a short-bore MR scanner. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was accomplished under MR fluoroscopy. Pre- and postinterventional ia-ce three-dimensional (3D) gradient-echo MRA with ...

The purpose was to evaluate the efficiacy of the time-of-flight MRA of the carotid artery with a 1.0 Tesla system in comparison to intraarterial digital subtraction angiography for the assessment of carotid artery disease. 101 patients with suspected stenosis of the carotid artery were examined with a 1.0 Tesla scanner in time-of-flight-technique and with the selective i.a. DSA in parallel. Morphological pathologies were registered for all arteries, stenosis of the internal carotid artery of both examinations were blindly graded by applying the NASCET criteria (mild, moderately, severely or occluded). Three different assessment methods were conducted for the MRA data. Kappa, weighted kappa, intraclass correlation were calculated for MRA results compared to DSA. Of the 84 common carotid bifurcation, 66 were classified as mild stenosis by DSA. In this category, MRA correctly identified 60 of these as mild stenosis. Among 60 common carotid artery bifurcation graded as moderate by DSA, 29 were ...

Intravenous DSA (IV-DSA) is still an accurate screening technique for extracranial carotid atherosclerosis, comparable to duplex ultrasound. Intracranial imaging is less satisfying with intravenous injections but reliable information is available in the assessment of the venous sinuses and parasellar internal arteries. The future of DSA lies with intraarterial contrast injections, as this technique substantially decreases the risks and costs of definitive cerebrovascular investigation. ...

Results-Cervical ICA PO occurred in 21/46 (46%) patients on CTA (17 proximal cervical; 4 midcervical). Fifteen (71%) of these patients also had PO on digital subtraction angiography. A flame-shaped PO mimicking a carotid dissection was seen in 7 (33%) patients on CTA and in 6 (29%) patients on digital subtraction angiography. Patients with and without CTA PO had similar age (64.8±17.1 versus 60.2±15.7 years; P=0.35), sex (male, 47% versus 52%; P=1.00), and intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator use (38% versus 40%; P=1.00). The rates of modified Treatment In Cerebral Ischemia 2b-3 reperfusion were 71.4% in the PO versus 100% in the non-PO cohorts (P,0.01). The rates of parenchymal hematoma, 90-day modified Rankin Scale score 0-2, and 90-day mortality were 4.8% versus 8% (P=0.66), 40% versus 66.7% (P=0.12), and 25% versus 21% (P=0.77) in PO versus non-PO patients, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that PO patients had lower chances of modified Treatment In Cerebral Ischemia 3 ...

Vessel segmentation is the base of 3d reconstruction of Digital Subtraction Angiograph (DSA) images. This paper proposes a framework of adaptive local thresholding based on a verification-based approach for vessel segmentation of DSA images. The original DSA image is firstly divided into overlapping subimages according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels. We implement a hypothesis test to determine whether each subimage contains vessels and then choose an optimal threshold respectively for every subimage previously determined to contain vessels, with a secondary verification process to exclude the condition that the subregion only containing the background but misclassified as one containing vessels by the hypothesis test. Finally an overall binarization of the original image is achieved by combining the thresholded subimages. Experiments demonstrate superior performance over global thresholding and some adaptive local thresholding methods ...

70 year-old female with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presented with typical symptoms of an exacerbation of COPD. Management of COPD resolved her wheezing, but ongoing hypoxia and retrospective history of atypical chest pain prompted exclusion of a pulmonary embolus. A CT Pulmonary Angiogram (CTPA) with standard 64-slice CT revealed an extensive non-occlusive defect in a grossly dilated right pulmonary artery. Presence of circumferential cuff of soft tissue within sub-segmental pulmonary artery branch raised the possibility of pulmonary artery dissection (PAD). Exclusion of PAD was important as it precluded full anticoagulation. A dynamic CT-digital subtraction angiography (CT-DSA) with the 320-slice multidetector CT (Aquilion-one Vision, Toshiba) did not reveal any intimal flap or contrast extension into the pulmonary arterial wall, suggesting it is unlikely to be PAD. The patient was started on full anticoagulation and reported improvement of symptoms with reduction in pulmonary

As the right gastric artery is not the major contributor to the gastric bed, it is one that is often overlooked in literature relating to arterial variation. It is a highly variable artery; with studies showing it can arise from the hepatic artery proper (HAP), gastro duodenal artery (GDA) and the left, right, common or middle hepatic arteries [8,9,10]. Identification of the right gastric artery is critical, for interventional radiologists, since inadvertent chemotherapy delivery to this artery can result in significant gastric mucosal damage (necrosis, ulceration or perforation) [6,9]. Evidence shows that the correct identification and embolisation of the right gastric artery can reduce the incidence of these complications from 36% to 3% [11].. Selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT). SIRT initially gained approval in 2002 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for the treatment of hepatic metastases secondary to colorectal adenocarcinoma [12].

Abstract: : Purpose: Wide-angle Optomap images obtained from the Panoramic200 device captures a 200° field of the ocular fundus without dilation. In contrast, conventional digital imaging through a dilated pupil typically includes the disc and macula as the main image field. Peripheral fields must be specifically imaged in addition, if required. In this study, the accuracy of macular diagnoses made from macular images of the same eye obtained with both 50° and 200° imaging system types were compared. Methods: Thirty-five eyes were digitally imaged with both the Panoramic200 and the Topcon TRC50 50° fundus camera. Thirty-two eyes with macular disease and 3 normal eyes were studied. Images were randomly presented on a color-viewing monitor to the same retinal specialist (TRF) in a masked manner devoid of clinical information. Both color and red-free images were viewed. Diagnoses made from images acquired by each image system were compared to one another for accuracy, using the clinical ...

Purpose: To design a precise perfusion phantom mimicking capillaries of the brain vasculature which could be used to test various perfusion protocols and algorithms which generate perfusion maps. Methods: A perfusion phantom was designed in Solidworks and built using additive manufacturing. The phantom was an overall cylindrical shape of diameter and height 20mm and containing capillaries of 200μm or 300μm which were parallel and in contact making up the inside volume where flow was allowed. We created a flow loop using a peristaltic pump and contrast agent was injected manually. Digital Subtraction Angiographic images and low contrast images with cone beam CT were acquired after the contrast was injected. These images were analyzed by our own code in LabVIEW software and Time-Density Curve, MTT and TTP was calculated. Results: Perfused area was visible in the cone beam CT images; however, individual capillaries were not distinguishable. The Time-Density Curve acquired was accurate, sensitive ...

We hypothesize the reason the vessel distal to the stenosis appeared occluded on DSA images, when CTA clearly showed the vessel to be patent, is related to differences in image acquisition time for DSA and CTA modalities. Angiographic runs are obtained during the course of a single intracranial circulation cycle, typically 5-7 seconds on average, by using a 3-4 frame per second filming rate, whereas CTA studies are acquired over approximately 60 seconds by using a single detector and 30 seconds by using a four detector helical scanner, allowing the contrast material to circulate up to 4-12 times in the intracranial vessels before imaging, which permits flow of a larger volume of contrast material through a tight stenosis. This greater volume of contrast material distal to a tight stenosis coupled with the HU-based methods of transmission tomography, may help to make these vessel segments more conspicuous, thus rendering visibly stenotic, but patent, arterial segments on CTA images that appear ...

A digital subtraction angiography method useful for processing a mask and contrast series of two dimensional (2D) images acquired by rotational imaging of a selected volume of a body. The method reduces image artifacts caused by misregistration, and is unique in that for registration purposes it treats the acquired 2D images as a volume. The individual 2D images are stacked in a sequence so as to have the dimensions x, y and θ. A flexible volume registration is then performed to bring the mask and contrast volumes into a close match prior to subtraction.

Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is an x-ray imaging modality for visualizing blood vessels. The DSA image is obtained by the logarithmic subtraction of an x-ray image with and without contrast agent in the blood vessel, called contrast image and mask image respectively. The aim of this work is to estimate the mask image from the given contrast image. Since the mask image will be estimated using the contrast image, the patient in a clinical setup will receive fewer x-ray doses for the same DSA protocol. ...

Keywords: Three-dimensional (3D) CT angiography, Temsirolimus Digital subtraction angiography, Coronary luminal stenosis Background Atherosclerotic plaque leads to progressively increasing luminal stenosis, which could result in fatal cardiac events. Coronary angiography is currently the gold standard technique for assessment of coronary lumen stenosis Temsirolimus or occlusion [1C4]. However, it is an invasive procedure. A catheter should be used to insert into the coronary arteries for injecting dye, which would induce discomfort for the patient. Furthermore, it has limitations of differentiating plaque components [5]. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to evaluate the lumen stenosis using non-invasive imaging techniques. During the past decades, CT angiography (CTA) has become a rapidly developing non-invasive imaging technique, which showed promising application in the identification, visualization and characterization of the coronary artery stenosis [6, 7]. Sun et al. [8, 9] have ...

An area of your body, usually the groin, is cleaned and numbed with a local numbing medicine (anesthetic). A thin, hollow tube called a catheter is placed through an artery. The catheter is carefully moved up through the main blood vessels in the belly area and chest into an artery in the neck. X-rays help the doctor guide the catheter to the correct position. Once the catheter is in place, the dye is sent through the catheter. X-ray images are taken to see how the dye moves through the artery and blood vessels of the brain. The dye helps highlight any blockages in blood flow.. Sometimes, a computer removes the bones and tissues on the images being viewed, so that only the blood vessels filled with the dye are seen. This is called digital subtraction angiography (DSA).. After the x-rays are taken, the catheter is withdrawn. Pressure is applied on the leg at the site of insertion for 10 to 15 minutes to stop the bleeding or a device is used to close the tiny hole. A tight bandage is then applied. ...

The respiratory liver motion simulator consists of a physical ovine liver, agar-gelatine block surrounding the liver, a medical air balloon which is connected to a lung ventilator, and two water balloons which are used to move the phantom back to its original position. The whole setup was MR compatible, including the ventilator which is used to provide simulation of respiratory motion. The movement generated by the simulator was analysed via an MR compatible ultrasound system, and this real-time motion information was used to guide a dynamic high intensity focused ultrasound system (Exablate 2100 system, 0.55MHz) to steer its focus to follow this motion (Figure 1). The liver model is perfused via an extracorporeal circuit driven by a heart lung bypass machine (HL30 Maquet, Germany).

The behavior of amplitudes and cross sections in the soft and collinear limits has played an essential role in our understanding of perturbative calculations in gauge theories. While often studied at leading power in the soft or collinear expansion, the structure of power corrections is of both formal and phenomenological interest. In this talk I will show how techniques from effective field theory can be used to systematically study subleading power corrections, and subleading power factorization. As an application, I will use these techniques to analytically compute the dominant power corrections for NNLO subtraction schemes based on physical resolution variables, in particular N-jettiness. I will discuss in detail the case of Drell-Yan like color singlet production, and show how the analytic calculation of the leading power corrections, and an improved definition of the observable, each lead to an order of magnitude improvement of the subtractions. ...

J Neurosurg 127:725-731, 2017. The study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of 320-detector row nonsubtracted and subtracted volume CT angiography (VCTA) in detecting small cerebral aneurysms (, 3 mm) compared with 3D digital subtraction angiography (3D DSA).. METHODS Six hundred sixty-two patients underwent 320-detector row VCTA and 3D DSA for suspected cerebral aneurysms. Five neuroradiologists independently reviewed VCTA and 3D DSA images. The 3D DSA was considered the reference standard, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of nonsubtracted and subtracted VCTA in depicting small aneurysms were analyzed. A p value , 0.05 was considered a significant difference.. RESULTS According to 3D DSA images, 98 small cerebral aneurysms were identified in 90 of 662 patients. Nonsubtracted VCTA depicted 90 small aneurysms. Ten small aneurysms were missed, and 2 small aneurysms were misdiagnosed. The missed small aneurysms were located almost in the internal carotid artery, near bone tissue. ...

Blood vessel abnormalities are the leading cause of bleeding in the brain (known as intracerebral haemorrhage) in young adults. Early detection of blood vessel abnormalities may improve outcome if treatment can prevent bleeding recurrence. This review looked at different tests used to identify blood vessel abnormalities in the brain. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) is the standard test used and involves positioning a tube, introduced through a blood vessel in the groin, into blood vessels near the brain. Dye is directly injected into the brains blood vessels using this tube. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) are newer tests that may be done without any injections (MRA) or only through an injection into the arm (CTA and MRA). This review investigated the accuracy of CTA or MRA, or both, compared with IADSA after intracerebral haemorrhage. We found eight studies (involving 526 participants) that compared CTA with IADSA and three ...

Atherosclerosis of the lower leg arteries is a common disease. Patients with this condition has symptoms of ischemia, for instance intermittent claudication (pain during exercise). Diagnosis of atherosclerosis in the legs is normally done with an interventional x-ray-based angiography (DSA- digital subtraction angiography). This is uncomfortable for the patient, and associated with risks of complications (bleeding, vascular damage, embolism).A novel approach to diagnosing atherosclerosis is the use of magnetic resonance angiography. A variant of this is the whole body magnetic resonance angiography(WB-MRA), that produce a picture of the arteries in almost the whole body (excluding the coronary arteries). WB-MRA has a number of advantages compared to DSA. It does not use ionizing radiation, is not invasive, uses a contrast medium with fewer side affects and finally gives a covers a great deal of the arteries in the body..

In patients presenting with a suspected acute stroke, clinicians attempt to confirm the presence of cerebral ischemia, identify the extent of the neurological deficit, and determine the etiology of the event. To detect a carotid source, patients usually undergo carotid duplex scan, CT angiography, conventional MRA, or digital subtraction angiography, all of which rely heavily on percent stenosis. Although these methods can detect luminal narrowing to a high degree of certainty, they cannot identify unstable plaque components. The current study and others have shown that stenosis does not fully determine the potential for embolization from the carotid artery. Traditionally, mild and moderate carotid artery stenoses have been overlooked as potential sources for thromboembolic stroke.. Although studies have found that complex carotid plaques (American Heart Association Type VI plaques) are associated with increased risk of subsequent events,7 the final common pathway has not been evaluated ...

Flow artifact in the anterior communicating artery resembling aneurysm by Deepak Takhtani, Sathish Kumar Dundamadappa et al.  "Flow artifact in the anterior communicating artery resembling aneurysm" by Deepak Takhtani, Sathish Kumar Dundamadappa et al.
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) of the brain is a widely employed non-invasive test to diagnose aneurysms. However, its overall accuracy is less than digital subtraction angiography and is prone to give false-positive or false-negative results. False-negative results can be seen with hemorrhage, lipoma, dermoid, posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, and the flow artifacts. PURPOSE: To describe the findings associated with false aneurysms in the anterior communicating artery on the time of flight MRA and review the physical principles behind this artifact. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This short series comprises of four patients whose MRA showed suspicious aneurysms in the region of the anterior communicating artery (ACOM) on time of flight MRA. RESULTS: Two patients underwent catheter angiogram and the other two patients had computed tomography angiogram. None of these cases proved to have aneurysms and normal anterior communicating arteries were seen in all the patients. The findings on the MR

The influence of different diagnostic imaging and interventional repair techniques on mortality rate in aortic aneurysm patients  The influence of different diagnostic imaging and interventional repair techniques on mortality rate in aortic aneurysm patients
DescriptionAmong the several factors related to high mortality, imaging methods and intervention procedures could be important. American College of Radiologists (ACR) prescribed some appropriateness guidelines for diagnostic imaging. Not complying with them fully or partially may also be a mortality factor. The present study was undertaken to investigate these aspects. NIS data for the period of 2008-2012 using ICD-9 codes were obtained for 6 types of aneurysms- intact and ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Thoracic Aneurysm and Thoracio-Abdominal Aneurysm; four imaging methods: Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound (US) and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) as diagnostic imaging methods; EVAR or OAR as the intervention procedures; patient characteristic factors of age, gender, race, comorbidities and insurance type; and hospital context factors of size, location and teaching status, region and admission type. The dependent variables were total, ...

endovascular | Physicians Weekly for Medical News, Journals & Articles  endovascular | Physician's Weekly for Medical News, Journals & Articles
by Physicians Weekly , Aug 24, 2010. Rapid advancements in endovascular interventions have facilitated the use of intracranial endovascular interventions to treat cerebrovascular diseases using minimally invasive intravascular techniques. Developments in computer-aided imaging and high-resolution digital subtraction angiography with reconstruction techniques, as well as easier access to the cerebral vasculature through improved microcatheter design, have lured the interest of physicians across multiple specialties. Consequently, the increasing popularity of these interventions has led to some controversy regarding who should perform these procedures and the methods of training. Other controversies surround how the efficacy and safety of endovascular procedures compare with standard open procedures. Considering these issues, guidelines have been released by the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA). Published in the April 6, 2009 issue of Circulation, the ...

Results of four technical investigations in fifty clinically brain dead patients | SpringerLink  Results of four technical investigations in fifty clinically brain dead patients | SpringerLink
Fifty consecutive patients (aged 19-77 years, median 56 years) with primary cerebral diseases and the clinical signs of absent cortical and brainstem function were subjected to electroencephalography (EEG), brainstem acoustic evoked potentials (BAEP), extracranial Doppler ultrasonography (ECD) and arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA). In the majority of cases the results of the technical tests agreed with the clinical signs and were suggestive of brain death. However, in one patient EEG revealed clear bioelectrical activity. In 6 cases, doubts existed about whether the EEG was isoelectric; in 3 of the 6 cases biological activity might have been present. In 31 of 42 patients ECD showed a typical pattern of intracranial circulatory arrest, in 9 of 42 ECD revealed a pattern suggestive of the cessation of cerebral blood flow. In four patients BAEP recordings compatible with brain death were recorded 2-3 days before intracranial circulatory arrest. In 2 patients with isoelectric EEG and ...

Structured decorative patterns are common ornamentations in a variety of media like books, web pages, greeting cards and interior design. Creating such art from scratch using conventional software is time consuming for experts and daunting for novices. We introduce DecoBrush, a data-driven drawing system that generalizes the conventional digital ``painting concept beyond the scope of natural media to allow synthesis of structured decorative patterns following user-sketched paths. The user simply selects an example library and draws the overall shape of a pattern. DecoBrush then synthesizes a shape in the style of the exemplars but roughly matching the overall shape. If the designer wishes to alter the result, DecoBrush also supports user-guided refinement via simple drawing and erasing tools. For a variety of example styles, we demonstrate high-quality user-constrained synthesized patterns that visually resemble the exemplars while exhibiting plausible structural variations.. ...

Depending on the type of angiogram, access to the blood vessels is gained most commonly through the femoral artery, to look at the left side of the heart and at the arterial system; or the jugular or femoral vein, to look at the right side of the heart and at the venous system. Using a system of guide wires and catheters, a type of contrast agent (which shows up by absorbing the x-rays), is added to the blood to make it visible on the x-ray images. The X-ray images taken may either be still images, displayed on an image intensifier or film, or motion images. For all structures except the heart, the images are usually taken using a technique called digital subtraction angiography or DSA. Images in this case are usually taken at 2 - 3 frames per second, which allows the interventional radiologist to evaluate the flow of the blood through a vessel or vessels. This technique "subtracts" the bones and other organs so only the vessels filled with contrast agent can be seen. The heart images are taken ...

The possibility that variation in the extent of native collateral circulation is an important determinant of variation in ischemic injury when acute arterial occlusion occurs or disease becomes manifest has historically been overlooked or minimized-, with the exception of those who study or treat acute ischemic stroke7-14 (and references therein), some coronary investigators4-6,69 (and references therein), and among vascular surgeons who frequently encounter or perform arterial occlusions.70,71 This presumably extends, in part, from the small diameter typical of native collaterals in most healthy individuals that is beyond the resolution of digital angiography (,0.2 mm), from the misconception that such minute vessels cannot mediate significant flow in the acute setting until remodeling has occurred, and from the inability to experimentally change native collateral extent to test its importance. The latter restriction has begun to yield in recent studies in which collateral extent was found to ...

Cerebrovascular Disease | Clinical Gate  Cerebrovascular Disease | Clinical Gate
MRA has assumed an increasingly important role in the evaluation of patients with carotid artery disease. Table 98-2 summarizes the sensitivity analyses from the HTA systematic review for time-of-flight (TOF) MRA and CEMRA. The sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing a 70% to 99% stenosis with TOF MRA is identical to that for DUS and similarly poor for diagnosing 50% to 69% stenoses. Two-dimensional (2D) TOF MRA provides strong vascular signals, even when flow is low (useful for differentiating occlusion from subocclusion), whereas 3D TOF MRA offers better spatial resolution for measuring severity of stenosis and also enables assessment of flow directionality (useful in evaluating steal phenomena). However, in order to minimize the long acquisition times and artifacts (flow-related, motion and boundary), the field of view has to be restricted. Accordingly, although it is possible to image both carotid bifurcations simultaneously, two further data acquisitions are required to image the aortic ...

Results & Discussion. Generation of subtracted bovine RPE cDNA library. We generated a subtracted bovine RPE cDNA library to identify genes specifically or predominantly expressed in mammalian RPE. Subtraction was performed between a ss circular bovine RPE cDNA library and biotinylated mRNA from bovine heart and liver. The heart and liver were chosen as driver tissues for subtraction as they are developmentally different from the posterior of the eye where RPE resides. This subtraction was expected to allow the enrichment of genes expressed in RPE, a tissue of neural origin. The subtraction method required only 2 ng of ss circular RPE cDNA library as a starting material, allowing the use of more than 1000-fold molar excess of driver mRNA to target cDNA, which helped in obtaining efficient subtraction. The subtracted ss circular library cDNA was electroporated into MC1061 E. coli cells without converting into ds DNA. Rubenstein et al. [12] reported about 100 to 1000 fold higher transformation ...

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the safety of chemotherapeutic infusion or chemoembolization by way of the cystic artery in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) supplied exclusively by the cystic artery. Methods: Between Jan 2002 and Dec 2011, we performed chemotherapeutic infusion or chemoembolization using iodized oil for the treatment of 27 patients with HCC supplied exclusively by the cystic artery. Computed tomography (CT) scans, digital subtraction angiograms, and medical records were retrospectively reviewed by consensus. Results: The cystic artery originated from the main right hepatic artery in 24 (89 %) patients, from the right anterior hepatic artery in 2 (7 %) patients, and from the left hepatic artery in 1 (4 %) patient. Selective catheterization of the cystic artery was achieved in all patients. Superselection of tumor-feeding vessels from the cystic artery was achieved in 7 patients (26 %). Chemotherapeutic infusion was performed in 18 patients (67 %), and ...

traumatic aneurysm [Operative Neurosurgery]  traumatic aneurysm [Operative Neurosurgery]
The pathophysiology of extracranial traumatic aneurysm formation has not been fully elucidated. Intraarterial optical coherence tomography (OCT), an imaging modality capable of micrometer cross-sectional resolution, was used to evaluate patients presenting with saccular traumatic aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Two consecutive trauma patients diagnosed with saccular traumatic aneurysms of the cervical ICA, per the institutional screening protocol for traumatic cerebrovascular injury, underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with OCT. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated disruption of the intima with preservation and stretching of the more peripheral layers. In 1 patient the traumatic aneurysm was associated with thrombus formation and a separate, more proximal dissection not visible on CT angiography (CTA) or DSA. Imaging with OCT indicates that saccular traumatic aneurysms may develop from disruption of the intima with at least partial preservation of the media and ...

To identify patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage for whom CT angiography alone can exclude ruptured aneurysms. An observational retrospective review was carried out of all consecutive patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage who underwent both CT angiography and catheter angiography to exclude an aneurysm. CT angiography negative cases (no aneurysm) were classified according to their CT hemorrhage pattern as aneurismal, perimesencephalic or as no-hemorrhage. Two hundred and forty-one patients were included. A CT angiography aneurysm detection sensitivity and specificity of 96.4% and 96.0% were observed. All 35 cases of perimesencephalic or no-hemorrhage out of 78 CT angiography negatives also had negative angiography findings. CT angiography is self-reliant to exclude ruptured aneurysms when either a perimesencephalic hemorrhage or no-hemorrhage pattern is identified on the CT within a week of symptom onset.

Ultrasound diagnosis of spontaneous carotid dissection with isolated Horner syndrome - Zurich Open Repository and Archive  Ultrasound diagnosis of spontaneous carotid dissection with isolated Horner syndrome - Zurich Open Repository and Archive
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Isolated Horner syndrome without associated cranial nerve palsies or ischemic symptoms is an important presentation of spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection (sICAD). Ultrasound is often used as a screening method in these patients because cervical MRI is not always available on an emergency basis. Current knowledge on ultrasound findings in patients with sICAD presenting with isolated Horner syndrome is limited. METHODS: Patients were recruited from prospective cervical artery dissection databases of 3 tertiary care centers. Diagnosis of sICAD was confirmed by cervical MRI and MR angiography or digital subtraction angiography in all patients. Data on Doppler sonography and color duplex sonography examinations performed within 30 days of symptom onset were analyzed. RESULTS: We identified 88 patients with Horner syndrome as the only sign of sICAD. Initial ultrasound examination was performed in 72 patients after a mean time interval from symptom onset to ...

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with detachable coils has been widely used since the introduction of GDCs in 1991 and has been proven to be effective in preventing rebleeding after aneurysmal rupture. The clinical and angiographic results of endovascular coil occlusion of intracranial aneurysms are positive, with an initial and final overall complete occlusion rate of 35.9%-76.8% and 38.3%- 87.8%. In the mid- and long-term, however, aneurysm recanalization may occur in as many as one-third of cases.. The natural history of aneurysm recurrence after coil treatment is often benign, but bleeding from incompletely coiled aneurysms is a well-documented threat, moreover, the degree of aneurysm occlusion after treatment was strongly associated with risk of rerupture. Even if 100% occlusion of the aneurysms after the initial treatment was obtained on immediate postembolization angiography, there was still a relatively high recanalization rate (26.4%) on long-term follow-up angiography. ...

Risk-benefit analysis of the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms  Risk-benefit analysis of the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms
Objectives: To determine under what circumstances repair of unruptured intracranial aneurysms may be beneficial. Methods: A life expectancy analysis of patients with unruptured aneurysms with and without repair based on prospective data from the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA). Results: Life years are lost at all ages by repairing anterior circulation aneurysms under 7 mm in diameter in patients with no history of a subarachnoid haemorrhage from another aneurysm (incidental). For all other aneurysms the number of life years saved by repair is dependent on the patients age at the time when repair is undertaken. Between 2 and 40 years are saved by repairing aneurysms in patients aged 20 years. These benefits fall to 0 when remaining life expectancy falls below 15-35 years, corresponding to the age range of 45-70 years. Conclusions: Repair of unruptured aneurysms benefits patients harbouring them by improving life expectancy except in certain circumstances. The ...
