Avaliação da técnica de arteriografia cerebral guiada por fluoroscopia em suínos

Abstract

The cerebral arteriography is a radiologic exam for demonstration of arterial vascularization using an injection of positive contrast for visualization of blood supply. In this research six pigs were submitted to cerebral arteriography under general anesthesia and with the assistant of fluoroscopy the femoral artery was catheterized until the carotid common right artery using contrast under selective form. The aim of this work was to analyze this technique as a complementary method in cases of suspect of alterations of blood flow. This technique shows be effective to obtain nithid images and to determinate the cerebral irrigation.
