Cerebral angiographic examination - Hospital Medical Information
Justice
Cerebral angiography examination is cerebral vascular injection of contrast medium into and taken X-ray is a test to determine whether or not blood brain damage to the. A catheter is inserted into the femoral artery of the lower extremity or the radial artery of the upper limb and placed in the cerebral blood vessels. The cerebral blood vessels are seen clearly when X-rays are continuously taken for a few seconds while injecting the appropriate amount of contrast agent. In addition, in order to make only the cerebral blood vessels selectively visible, the computer can remove the peripheral shadows other than the cerebral vessels to produce a very vivid cerebral blood vessel image. Cerebral angiography tests are blood-brain tests (using magnetic resonance MR angiography ) or computed tomography (CT) brain angiography examination ( CT angiography and invasive putting foreign objects such as) and conduit, wire in the vascular contrast, may be consequent complications However, it is the most accurate method for the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease.
Kinds
Common carotid artery imaging tests, carotid angiography examination, other tests carotid angiography, vertebral artery imaging tests
Inspection cycle
Only if there is neurological symptoms or suspicion of cerebrovascular disease on a computerized tomography ( CT ) or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scan.
Preparations
If the catheter enters the femoral artery , remove both skippings.
method of inspection
Conduit enters vessel the parts of the skin and peripheral vascular local anesthesia , and about 5 mm after adding the incision placed within a catheter in a blood vessel. The catheter is placed in the origin of the cerebral vessel to be examined via the aorta , and continuous blood vessel images are obtained by X-ray imaging at the same time as contrast injection into the catheter . After the test is completed, the catheter is removed and the catheter is inserted by hand for about 10 to 20 minutes. The time required for the patient to lie after the hemostasis depends on the use of anticoagulants and the use of a hemostasis aid, but is approximately 3 to 8 hours.

Time
Approximately 1 to 2 hours
Precautions
For accurate examination, do not move your head when you take a picture , and do not bend or move the leg or arm after hemostasis.
Impression of the head may be burning or blinking as the contrast agent is injected. This is because the natural reaction to be. You should not move your head when taking pictures for accurate examination. If you move the leg or arm after hemostasis, hematoma may occur. Do not move or bend your leg or arm for a fixed time.

Side effects / after effects
Bleeding at the site of the catheter can cause swelling or bruising, and if you become infected , you may need to take antibiotics or perform an operation. An allergic reaction caused by contrast media can lead to urticaria or severe dyspnea. The most serious complication is cerebral vascular permanent due to thrombosis and embolism of nerves as significant damage, or to say eonul from approximately 1% to 2% dubious attack is known to appear like.
Diagnostic disease
Cerebral Aneurysm , Cerebrovascular Stenosis, Stroke , Brain Arteriovenous Malformation , Brain Arteriovenous Fistula, Hypervascular Brain Tumor
Related Test Methods
Computed tomography angiography scan ( CT angiography ), magnetic resonance angiography scan ( MR angiography to determine the, etc.) are similar to tests and the exact diagnosis or treatment plan is the best test of the brain angiography examination.
