Comparison between Digital Subtraction Angiography and Indocyanine Green Video Angiography in the Operative Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Background Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy technique used in interventional radiology to clearly visualize blood vessels in a bony or dense soft tissue environment. Images are produced using contrast medium by subtracting a “pre-contrast image” or mask from subseque...

description Background Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy technique used in interventional radiology to clearly visualize blood vessels in a bony or dense soft tissue environment. Images are produced using contrast medium by subtracting a “pre-contrast image” or mask from subsequent images, once the contrast medium has been introduced into a structure, hence the term “Digital subtraction angiography.” Indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA) is a safe and practical method of real-time delineation of microvasculature used in the surgical management of intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and other vascular lesions. Intraoperative ICG-VA is used as an adjunct in addition to intraoperative or postoperative DSA, and in other cases, it is used as the sole method to confirm the complete obliteration of clipped intracranial aneurysm. The only limitation of ICG-VA is the nonvisibility of vessels that are not in the operative field. Intraoperative ICG is useful in the clipping of intracranial aneurysms to ensure a gross patency of branch vessels; however, the presence of residual aneurysms and subtle changes in flow in branch vessels is best seen by DSA.
