ABSTRACT
We describe how the fusion process between magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and cisternography (MRC) promptly reveals vessel anatomy ahead of the clot, in patients affected by acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. This technique showed in 100% of subjects (n = 22) a clear tracing of vessel anatomy before and beyond the clot. The duration of the whole process is short and could be considered safe since no outcome differences have been found when compared with a control group (n = 23). This technique could play a relevant role in guiding endovascular therapy, especially in unexpected unfavorable anatomical arteries configurations.
