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