ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There have been immense advancements in the hardware and software of digital subtraction angiography systems over the last several years. These advancements continue to make progress toward the goals of offering better visualization and reducing radiation exposure. A newer advancement in this arena is presenting three-dimension data over time resulting in four-dimensional-digital subtracted angiography visualization. We have evaluated these protocols related to the evaluation of the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with pipeline flow diversion.METHODS:
Four-dimensional-digital subtracted angiography imaging was acquired on an Artis Q Biplane angiographic system (Siemens Healthcare AG, Forchheim, Germany). A six second four-dimensional-digital subtracted angiography protocol was performed pre and post flow diverter placement. Pre and post reconstructed images were sent through a dedicated prototype research workstation (Syngo X-Workplace; Siemens Healthineers AG) for further flow evaluation.RESULTS:
The treatment of an aneurysm with flow diversion led to a filling delay of 0.278 ± 0.422 s inside the aneurysms, whereas distal to the aneurysms the filling of the vessel segment occurred earlier post procedural (negative filling delay of -0.15 ± 0.31 s. The flow ratio inside the aneurysm decreased to 63.6 ± 23% of its pre-treatment value and distal to the aneurysm the flow remained substantially the same (flow ratio 95.6 ± 0.29%). Data showed a relative filling delay of the aneurysm normalized to the distal vessel of 0.43 ± 0.36 s. The relative flow ratio of the aneurysm in comparison to the distal parent vessel was 72.2 ± 31%.CONCLUSIONS:
Analysis of a four-dimensional-digital subtracted angiography acquisition allows assessment of the effects of flow diversion treatment on aneurysm hemodynamic parameters and shows a significant decrease in flow inside the aneurysm compared to the parent vessel distal to the aneurysm.
