Simultaneous dual vessel cerebral angiography in gamma knife planning.

چکیده
Gamma knife radiosurgery is an effective technique for treating arteriovenous malformations. However, treatment failures can occur as a result of incomplete visualization of the arteriovenous malformation nidus. We describe the use of bilateral femoral artery catheterization and simultaneous dual vessel cerebral angiography to facilitate treatment planning during gamma knife treatment.

Magnetic resonance angiography of cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography as a method for the long-term follow-up of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) was assessed in 14 patients with cerebral AVMs. These patients were either untreated or treated with transarterial embolization and/or stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife). Two-dimensional- and three-dimensional (3D)-time-of-flight (TOF) techniques were useful for follow...
متن کاملLong term effects of Gamma knife Radiosurgery for treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
Abstract Background: The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) is an established management option for Cerebral Ar-teriovenous Malformations (AVMS). Therapeutic benefits of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations are complete obliteration of nidus with minimal neurological deficit. Methods: Radiosurgery was performed between February 2003 and April 2010 at Kamraniye day clinic, Teh-ran, Iran, us...
متن کاملAngiographic complications during stereotactic radiosurgery for cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
During the past 20 years, stereotactic radiosurgery in the form of a multisource cobalt-60 gamma knife has been used to treat more than 1500 selected cases of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) worldwide (1-5). Precise three-dimensional localization of the target volume is required for computer planning and radiation dose determination (6). Although either computed tomography (CT) ...
متن کاملAngiographic technique to precede gamma knife radiosurgery for intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
Stereotactic radiosurgery of small arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and certain benign and malignant brain tumors using a gamma knife with 201 sources of cobalt-60 has been used to treat 300 patients at our institution since August 1987. This gamma knife-like earlier units developed in Stockholm, Buenos Aires, and Sheffield, England-was designed for closed-skull destruction of selected AVMs a...
متن کاملStereotaxic angiography in gamma knife radiosurgery of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
Gamma knife radiosurgery is an effective alternative to embolization or microsurgical removal of small arteriovenous malformations, particularly in eloquent areas of brain tissue. Stereotaxic angiography is a useful diagnostic and targeting adjunct to gamma knife radiosurgery, and the authors present their experience (1,100 patients) with methods and technique, and show how the nidus of the art...
