AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed patient radiation doses during digital subtraction angiography (DSA) by analyzing fluoroscopy time, dose-area product (DAP), and entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) from 263 DSA exams categorized into seven types.
- Median DAP values varied across categories, with the lowest for celiac trunk and the highest for superselective DSA of hepatic and splenic arteries.
- ESAK values were generally below the 2 Gy limit for erythema, indicating low risk of skin damage, and DAP results were consistent with some previously published data while lacking references for a few categories.
Article Abstract
This investigation determined patient doses during digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Fluoroscopy time, dose-area product (DAP) and entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) were analysed from 263 DSA examinations, classified into seven categories: (1) abdominal aorta, iliac, femoral, popliteal and leg arteries; (2) abdominal aorta and superselective DSA of renal arteries; (3) combination of (1) and (2); (4) superselective DSA of common carotid and vertebral arteries, intracranial branches in face and profile projections; (5) superselective DSA of hepatic, splenic, superior and inferior mesenteric arteries; (6) combination of (1) and (4); and (7) celiac trunk and branches. Median DAP values were 67.7, 92.9, 76.6, 53.6, 105.7, 76.1 and 2.6 Gy cm2, respectively. With the exception of one examination, ESAK values were below 2 Gy: the limit for erythema. Compared with published data, DAP values were within the range reported for (1) and (4), slightly larger for (2) and (5), whereas no references were identified for the remaining three categories.

Effectiveness of super-selective digital subtraction angiography and 3D rotational digital subtraction venography for a developmental venous anomaly with an arteriovenous malformation: A case report and literature review.
Surg Neurol Int

Department of Neurosurgery, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu, Japan.
Background: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and developmental venous anomaly (DVA) rarely coexist. Developing a surgical strategy to treat this co-occurrence is difficult due to the unclear pathogenesis. We report the use of super-selective digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and Three-dimensional (3D) rotational digital subtraction venography (DSV) to develop a surgical strategy for complex AVM draining into a DVA.

Department of Neurosurgery, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Background And Importance: Partially thrombosed vertebral artery aneurysms (PTVAs) are rare, most of which are not easy to treat. Furthermore, endovascular treatment of PTVAs may not have favorable outcomes. The relationship between PTVAs and well-developed vasa vasorum (VV), including the mechanism of aneurysm growth, has been reported, but there are no reports of imaging findings by digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Moyamoya disease is characterized by progressive internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion. Extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery is effective, particularly in pediatric patients; imaging plays a crucial role in evaluating intracranial perfusion pre- and post-surgery. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a magnetic resonance technique employed for noninvasive, whole-brain perfusion assessment by magnetically labeling inflowing blood.

Purpose: To provide detailed reports on radiation doses during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) era and to identify the associated factors.
Methods: This retrospective study included 385 consecutive patients who underwent initial conventional TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between January 2016 and December 2017. In most cases, CBCT was performed at the common hepatic artery or celiac axis to confirm the location of the tumor and the three-dimensional hepatic artery anatomy.

Background: There are serious complications associated with hyaluronic acid (HA) facial injections, including vision impairment due to retinal artery ischemia. In this study, we put forth a clinically relevant model of retinal ischemia and reperfusion in rabbit. We used this to verify the efficacy of hyaluronidase intra-artery thrombolysis in the treatment of hyaluronic acid-induced retinal artery occlusion.
