Background and Purpose-Detection of acute infarction in the posterior circulation is challenging. We aimed to determine the additional value of tomograpy (CT) perfusion to noncontrast CT and CT angiography source images for infarct detection and localization in patients suspected of acute ischemic posterior circulation stroke. Methods-Patients with suspected acute ischemic ... read more posterior circulation stroke were selected from the Dutch acute Stroke Trial (DUST) study. Patients underwent noncontrast CT, CT angiography, and CT perfusion within 9 hours after stroke onset and CT or MRI on follow-up. Images were evaluated for signs and location of ischemia. Discrimination of 3 hierarchical logistic regression models (noncontrast CT [A], added CT angiography source images [B], and CT perfusion [C]) was compared with C-statistics. Results-Of 88 patients, 76 (86%) had a clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke on discharge and 42 patients (48%) showed a posterior circulation infarct on follow-up ...

In this report, a case of anomalous internal carotid artery looping into the orbital apex is presented. The patient was a 41-year-old man with sudden onset headache, suggestive of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Imaging with CT demonstrated a perimesencephalic distribution of blood. Cerebral angiography confirmed non-aneurysmal, perimesencephalic SAH, but incidentally noted an anomalous left internal carotid artery with a course into the orbital cone. This is the only known example of this anatomic variation. Potential embryological explanations are discussed. ...

Endovascular procedures were divided into 2 categories. Double stent-assisted coiling was included in the reconstructive method, and trapping with coiling was included in the deconstructive methods. When we performed reconstructive methods with stenting, a dual-antipletelet regimen with oral acetylsalicylic acid (100 mg) and clopidogrel (75 mg) was not administered until the next day following aneurysm obliteration, and was maintained for at least 3 months, after which the clopidogrel was stopped. We did not use any antiplatelet regimen when performing deconstructive methods. The first follow-up angiography was performed at 2 weeks after the procedure, to determine whether the dissecting segment had reappeared or was well-maintained. If a patient had neurological deterioration during this period, we performed a follow-up angiogram immediately. Regrowth and/or recanalization of aneurysms found on a follow-up angiogram were treated immediately. Sequential follow-up magnetic resonance angiography ...

A method is provided for angiographic examination of an organ, vascular system or other body regions as the examination object of a patient by means of 4D rotational angiography. A step S1 of the method involves acquisition of projection images (24) in different cardiac phases (c0 to cN). A further step S2 involves reconstruction of 3D volume images (26) in the different cardiac phases (c0 to cN). A further step S3 involves calculation of a motion map (28, 38). A further step S4 includes image combination of the 3D volume images (26) with the motion map (28, 38) to produce resulting, corrected 3D volume images (40) in the different cardiac phases (c0 to cN). A further step S5 involves presentation of the resulting, corrected 3D volume images (40).

Background: Collateral grade on cerebral angiography has great predictive significance for patient outcome, which is important to determine indication for endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Distal hyperintense vessels (DHV) on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging (FLAIR) is a noninvasive and useful imaging marker that reflects leptomeningeal collateral flow. We investigated whether DHV in patients with AIS was associated with collaterals grade on cerebral angiography and clinical outcome after endovascular therapy.. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with AIS who had internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery occlusion in three comprehensive stroke centers from August 2011 to July 2015. We selected those who underwent FLAIR sequence before endovascular therapy. Presence of DHV was evaluated using a previously-published method. Collateral grades on pre-treatment cerebral angiography were assessed with the American Society of Interventional and ...

Conclusions Patients with IE or similar sources of central bacterial emboli are prone to neurovascular complications. Approximately 9% of patients with IE at our institution who undergo cerebral angiography have mycotic aneurysms. Presentation with hemorrhage appears to be more predictive of aneurysm, as approximately 22% of patients with IE and hemorrhage were found to have an aneurysm compared with only 1% when hemorrhage was absent. Thus, patients with IE presenting with intracranial hemorrhage should undergo vascular imaging, preferably with cerebral angiography.. ...

The embryologic development of cerebral circulation is a natures miracle. At approximately 30-days of gestation, the internal carotid arteries (ICAs) arise from dorsal aortic arches and anastomose with longitudinal neural arteries to form a primitive vertebrobasilar system at four major sites [1] named according to their neighbouring structures as trigeminal, otic, hypoglossal and proatlantal intersegmental arteries. Failure of regression of these vessels lead to persistent primitive carotid-vertebrobasilar anastamoses of which most cephalic and most common is PTA [1]. Its reported prevalence is 0.1%-0.6% [2] of cerebral angiograms. Internal carotid artery gives origin to PTA which then anastomoses with the midbasilar artery. Basilar artery is usually hypoplastic caudal to this anastomosis [2 ...

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. ...

Y-configured double stent technique is useful for coil embolization of a bifurcation wide neck aneurysm while preserving the patency of the two important vessels. However, if the important vessels emanating directly from the aneurysm comprised four vessels, two vessels not deployed, Y-stents might not be preserved with the Y-stent technique by itself. We report a case treated with Y-configured double stent-assisted coil embolization with a double microcatheter technique for complex basilar bifurcation aneurysm. A 78-year-old woman presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) of poor grade. CT-angiography showed a wide neck and shallow aneurysm of complex basilar bifurcation involving both posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) and superior cerebellar arteries (SCAs). In the chronic stage of SAH, Y-configured double stent-assisted coil embolization with a double microcatheter technique was performed. After Y-stent (two Enterprise) deployment from both the PCAs to the basilar artery, coil ...

Objective: We conducted this study to demonstrate the value of non-invasive three-dimensional CT angiography (3D CTA) in the detection of a cerebral aneurysm. Material and Methods: A helical CT acquisition was obtained using non-ionic contrast media in 50 patients with 1 mm per second table speed, 1 mm collimation, and pitch 1:1. Axial source images were transferred into a workstation console (Advantage windows GE) and CTA was obtained using MIP (Maximum Intensity Projection) reconstruction. Fourteen patients underwent conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) after 3D CTA prior to surgery. Results: A total of 39 aneurysms were detected in 50 patients. All patients with an aneurysm were operated and the presence of aneurysms was confirmed. 3D CTA detected 38 of these 39 aneurysms. In 37 aneurysms, the origin of the aneurysm and aneurysm neck was adequately visualized. 3D CTA was found to be 100% specific and 97.2% sensitive in picking up cerebral aneurysms. 3D CTA was 97% specific in ...

Carotid cavernous fistulas are abnormal communications between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, either directly or via intradural branches of the internal or external carotid arteries.1 Direct fistulas are high flow, frequently follow trauma, and tend to have a dramatic clinical presentation. In contrast, indirect fistulas are low flow, often spontaneous, and may have a subtle clinical presentation. Symptoms and signs common to both types of fistulas include proptosis, chemosis, diplopia, visual loss, pulse-synchronous tinnitus, orbital bruit, elevated intraocular pressure, dilated episcleral veins, and retinal venous congestion. The pattern of venous drainage, either anterior into the ophthalmic veins or posterior into the petrosal sinuses, often dictates the clinical findings and radiographic appearance. Anterior drainage typically leads to the most dramatic ocular findings and enlargement of the superior orbital vein, the latter often detectable with CT or MRI. However, superior ...

Clinical record. A 33-year-old man presented to an emergency department with acute dysphasia and a dense right hemiparesis. His National Institute Health Stroke Scale score was 12, indicating a moderate severity stroke (score range 0-42, with increasing values indicating increasing severity). His computed tomography (CT) brain scan was normal. A CT angiogram showed a filling defect in the left intracranial internal carotid artery. Intravenous thrombolysis was commenced 2.5 hours after stroke onset and completed during urgent transit to our hospital for endovascular thrombectomy. Combined stent retrieval and suction thrombectomy of the left internal carotid occlusion restored flow 4.5 hours after stroke onset. A small dissection in the left intracranial internal carotid artery was the source of the thrombotic occlusion (Figure). A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain showed small scattered infarctions in the left middle cerebral arterial territory.. The patient was later found to have a ...

A powerful type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning can help physicians detect potentially life-threatening cerebral aneurysms on CT angiography, according to a study published in the journal Radiology.. Cerebral aneurysms are weakened areas of blood vessels in the brain. Left untreated, they can leak or rupture, with sometimes fatal results. Detection and characterization of these aneurysms are critical, as the risk of rupture depends on the size, shape and location of the aneurysm.. CT angiography is usually the first choice for evaluating cerebral aneurysms. The exam is highly accurate, but cerebral aneurysms can be overlooked on the initial assessment due to their small size and the complexity of the blood vessels in the brain.. In our daily work we are always faced with cases in which some important lesions have been missed by the human eye, said study senior author Xi Long, Ph.D., from the Department of Radiology at Tongji Medical Colleges Union Hospital in Wuhan, China. ...

Moyamoya syndrome is a rare condition in which blood vessels at the base of the skull progressively narrow, limiting the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain. Surgical treatment options for Moyamoya syndrome include direct revascularization procedures such as an EC-IC bypass as well as indirect revascularization procedures like encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) and pial synangiosis. Here at Columbia University Medical Center/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, our neurosurgeons have particular expertise using these and other surgeries to treat patients with Moyamoya syndrome.. Moyamoya means puff of smoke in Japanese, and the condition is so named because the body grows a secondary network of small vessels in an effort to compensate for the restricted blood flow. On an arteriogram, the network of new vessels resembles a cloud-or puff of smoke. Moyamoya is more common in Japan than in the U.S., but it is unusual everywhere.. The blood vessel network that gives Moyamoya its name may lead to ...

Characterized by headaches and seizures, an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the brain is a derivative of arteriovenous malformation, a disorder of the bodys circulatory system. An AVM of the brain, also known as a cerebral AVM, is a malformed group of blood vessels composed of an intricate tangle of arteries and veins. Though localized, cerebral AVMs can lead to severe neurological problems. Research in the field of arteriovenous malformation is growing particularly with noninvasive treatment options. What are cerebral AVMs? Cerebral AVMs may form during prenatal stages of a childs development, either during embryonic or fetal growth. Studies have found a certain number of cases form shortly after birth; however, the condition frequently presents in adults in their 20s or 30s. Cerebral AVMs are commonly misdiagnosed, with most cases found only incidentally through the performance of CT (computed tomography) scans on the brain. Patients complain of regular headaches and seizures before ...

Stent-assisted coil embolization is very effective for treating fusiform and wide-neck aneurysms. This technique enables improved packing density with a relative low risk of coils herniating into the parent artery, which may also be beneficial for small to medium aneurysms.35 In addition, a fully deployed stent may function as a scaffold for endothelial growth.7. The standard technique for follow-up imaging after (stent-assisted) coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms is DSA, which only provides a 2D projection of the vascular anatomy and implants. Diagnostic interpretation is therefore determined by the projection angle of the x-ray source and may not fully disclose adjacent vascular anatomy and potential clot formation, stent-wall apposition, stent herniation, recanalization, intimal tissue growth, or hyperplasia. In situ-acquired high-resolution contrast-enhanced CBCT (VasoCT) allows visualization of vascular implants and host arteries with 3D spatial information. However, the presence ...

Under the influence of Professor Percival Bailey, the resident staff at the University of Illinois Research and Educational Hospitals in Chicago in the 1940s was induced to take up the then newly developing procedure of angiography of the vessels to and in the brain. Eventual facility with percutaneous carotid angiography led to accidental vertebral angiography, followed by percutaneous deliberate vertebral angiography as developed by the residents, among whom were Drs. Holden, Chester Powell, and myself. Retrograde brachial vertebral angiography followed. By these procedures, a large number of intracranial vascular and neoplastic lesions were discovered, our first one was a large pericallosal aneurysm operated on in 1946 by Dr. Milton Tinsley with me assisting. Ocular loupes were used for magnification. The lesion was not visualized in the postoperative angiogram which I carried out. After becoming a junior staff member of the staff under Dr. Eric Oldberg, I carried out angiograms and was ...

Millimeter measurements are needed for management decisions and treatment planning of some vascular diseases. Surveying 2 recent issues of the American Journal of Neuroradiology gleaned reports requiring millimeter measurements from digital subtraction angiography (DSA).1-4 These included aneurysm sizes, necks, and devices matched to artery size.. Despite the multiple advantages of DSA, the technology did not, and still does not, include a method of measurement that provides the same ability to measure in millimeters as earlier analog techniques did. C-arm DSA with adjustable intensifiers reduces tube distance and thus increases magnification. Intensifier positional variability and tabletop movements add to millimeter inaccuracy with variable magnification in different projections.5 FOV settings further complicate calibrations. There are challenges to calibrating real millimeters with different positions when scanning the same patient. Manufacturers did not develop millimeter adjustments for ...

Three weeks ago she had a cerebral angiogram done. That is a artery study of her brain. The purpose is to look at the brain and see if there is any other problems with the arteries and does she have good blood flow and also does she have the brain disease MoyaMoya which is what they think she has. The procedure was about and hour and half. She did great while she was under but in recovery she had to lay still for 4 hours to make sure the artery in her leg/groin area clotted and there was no bleeding. For a 2 year old to lay still is impossible, so she was heavily sedated and slept really well. She would try to roll and we (Dan or I) would put a hand on her leg to stop her. A week later Dan and I meet with her neuro-surgeon for the results. Her brain looks really good and the arteries look great and so does the blood flow.

Rapid sequence CT imaging provides information about the vascular anatomy (CT angiography), locates major vessels encased by tumor, and eliminates the possibility of avascular lesions in the differential diagnosis of a head and neck tumor. Furthermore the use of density-time curves allows arterial and venous time. The patterns of density-time curves are characteristic for various lesions. For glomus complex tumors, regardless of the size and location, dynamic CT easily differentiates them from most of the simulating lesions. Angiography therefore is occasionally necessary for verification. Dynamic CT has a risk of complications the same as that of any intravenous injection of contrast material. Cerebral angiography via the femoral approach has been reported to have a risk of major complications of 0.28% and of minor complications of 6.25%.

The mechanisms by which intracranial aneurysms develop, enlarge, and rupture are unknown, and it remains difficult to collect the longitudinal patient-based information needed to improve our understanding. We submit, therefore, that mathematical models hold promise by allowing us to propose and test competing hypotheses on potential mechanisms of aneurysmal enlargement and to compare predicted outcomes with limited clinical information-in this way, we may begin to narrow the possible mechanisms and thereby focus experimental studies. In this paper, we present a constrained mixture model of evolving thin-walled, fusiform aneurysms and compare multiple competing hypotheses with regard to the production, removal, and alignment of the collagen that provides the structural integrity of the wall. The results show that this type of approach has the capability to infer potential means by which lesions enlarge and whether such changes are likely to produce a stable or unstable process. Such information ...

Endovascular therapy (group two) received a lower dose (0.09mg per kg bolus and 0.54mg/kilogram infusion over 40 minutes, maximum dose 53.6mg) or after Amendment #5, a standard dose of IV rt-PA (.9mg/kg with 10% as a bolus and the remainder over one hour) and then underwent an angiogram test (cerebral angiography) right after the medicine was given to check for blood clots. If a clot was not seen, then no more treatment was given. If a clot was seen, the neurointerventionalist chose (based on the location and extent of the blood clot) a protocol approved endovascular treatment given directly in the brain artery that would be most effective in reopening the blocked artery ...
