About Cerebral angiography

Cerebral angiography, also known as cerebral arteriography, is a highly specialized diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize the blood vessels in the brain and neck. Performed by a neuroradiologist, it involves inserting a thin, flexible catheter into an artery, typically in the groin, and guiding it to the cerebral vessels. A contrast dye is then injected, and a series of X-ray images are taken to create a detailed map of the arterial and venous system. This gold-standard procedure is crucial for diagnosing conditions like aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), stenosis, and strokes, providing unparalleled detail that guides critical treatment decisions in neurovascular care.

Key Highlights

Provides the most detailed and accurate visualization of brain blood vessels available.Essential for diagnosing complex neurovascular conditions like aneurysms and AVMs.Guides critical treatment decisions for surgery, endovascular coiling, or stenting.Can be combined with therapeutic procedures (neurointervention) during the same session.Performed by a specialized Neuroradiologist with expert training in brain imaging.

Who is this surgery for?

Detection and evaluation of cerebral aneurysms (bulging blood vessels).
Diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) or fistulas.
Identification of stenosis (narrowing) or occlusion (blockage) in brain arteries.
Investigation of the cause of a hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke.
Pre-surgical planning for brain tumors to map their blood supply.
Assessment of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) in the brain.

How to prepare

Complete blood tests, kidney function tests, and coagulation profile.
Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners like aspirin or warfarin.
Informing the doctor of any allergies, particularly to iodine or contrast dye.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure, typically after midnight.
Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Signing a detailed informed consent form after discussing risks and benefits.

Risks & possible complications

Allergic reaction to the contrast dye, ranging from mild to severe.
Bleeding, bruising, or infection at the catheter insertion site in the groin.
Injury to the blood vessel, potentially leading to a hematoma or pseudoaneurysm.
Kidney impairment from the contrast dye, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.
Rare but serious risks include stroke, blood clot formation, or vessel dissection.
Exposure to ionizing radiation, though kept to a minimum.

Recovery & hospital stay

Immediate bed rest for 4-6 hours to prevent bleeding from the puncture site.
Monitoring of vital signs and the insertion site for any signs of complications.
Encouraged to drink plenty of fluids to help flush the contrast dye from the kidneys.
Avoidance of strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and driving for 24-48 hours.
Follow-up with the neuroradiologist to discuss the angiogram results and next steps.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain, swelling, leg numbness, or fever.

Typical hospital stay: 1 day (often outpatient or 24-hour observation)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days for normal activity; 1-2 weeks for full recovery if no intervention

PATIENT REVIEW

Aditya Garcia, a 42-year-old high school...

Aditya Garcia, a 42-year-old high school history teacher and father of two, had always been active and healthy. His life changed when he began experiencing sudden, excruciating headaches he described as 'thunderclaps' and episodes of blurred vision. After a particularly severe episode where he felt a wave of weakness on his left side, his wife insisted he go to the ER. A CT scan revealed a possible abnormality in the blood vessels of his brain. Dr. Evans, the neuroradiologist, explained that Aditya likely had a cerebral aneurysm, a weak, bulging spot in a brain artery, and that a cerebral angiography was the gold standard to confirm its exact size, location, and shape. Aditya was terrified, his mind racing with thoughts of his young family. The procedure itself, under local anesthesia, was strange but not painful; he felt pressure but mostly a profound sense of vulnerability. Post-procedure, he had to lie flat for several hours to prevent bleeding at the catheter site in his groin, which was frustrating but manageable. The outcome was a definitive diagnosis of a small, unruptured aneurysm. While the news was serious, knowing exactly what they were dealing with brought immense relief. Aditya's emotional journey shifted from sheer terror and uncertainty to a focused, manageable anxiety. He felt empowered with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan, allowing him to be present for his family again.
