Presentation
Thus, patients with IE presenting with intracranial hemorrhage should undergo vascular imaging, preferably with cerebral angiography. Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Asymptomatic
Asymptomatic technical complications occurred in 13 (0.44%) of the angiographic procedures: 3 groin dissections and 10 dissections of the cervical vessels. No patient with a neck dissection suffered an immediate or delayed stroke. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Anemia
After adjustment for potential confounding risk factors, patients with proteinuria had a fivefold higher risk of CI-AKI than patients without proteinuria (OR=5.74; 95% CI 2.23 to 14.83; p 2, anemia, and a high National Institute of Health Stroke Scale [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: PIVH is rare and hypertension is important predisposing factor. Yield of cerebral angiography is high in diagnosing the etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
- Slurred Speech
Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following: signs of a stroke, including slurred speech, weakness, numbness, or vision problems redness and swelling at the catheter insertion site swelling or coldness of the leg or foot chest [healthline.com]
If at any time during or after the procedure a patient experiences numbness, weakness, dizziness, chest pain, slurred speech, blurry vision, or trouble breathing, they should let the staff at Dr. Ahuja’s office know immediately. [neuroendomke.com]
Vision problems or slurred speech. Weakness in the muscles of your face or in your arms or legs. Severe pain in your tummy (abdomen) or back. [patient.info]
Do inform your physician or health care provider, in case you develop an infection with symptoms, such as: Bleeding Chest pain Difficulty walking or talking Dizziness Facial weakness Fever Numbness or pain Slurred speech Unusual swelling Vision problems [dovemed.com]
Go to your nearest Emergency Department or GP if you become unwell or have: A cool or cold limb Slurred speech, balance problems or trouble using your arm or leg Pain unrelieved by over the counter pain killers Continuous bleeding or swelling at the skin [swslhd.health.nsw.gov.au]
- Memory Impairment
The patient showed memory impairment, agraphia, acalculia, right-left disorientation, occasional errors in speech and finger agnosia accompanied by an acute infarction in the left middle cerebral artery territory. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The intracarotid sodium Amytal injection (Wada) test is a specialized procedure performed in the workup of patients with seizure disorders who are being considered for surgical resective therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Catheter and Guidewire Selection For patients undergoing angiography for a workup of carotid stenosis, a pigtail catheter (Cook) was placed over a Bentson guidewire into the ascending aorta for arch aortography. [ajnr.org]
Treatment
Current treatments of cerebral aneurysms are imperfect, and aneurysmal hemodynamics is an important factor in treatment failure. The identification of hemodynamic factors that influence treatment success could predict outcome. [clinicaltrials.gov]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Iatrogenic dissection is a known complication of cerebral angiography, but the clinical outcomes and optimal treatment of these patients is not well established. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Once we've approved your claim, you'll get the private treatment you need. 3 And we’ll pay for treatment After you've been treated, send us your invoices. [aviva.co.uk]
Prognosis
The incidence, timing, sex, age, inducing factors, risk factors, prevention measures and prognosis are discussed and reviewed in conjunction with the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As far as the evolution is concerned, and after considering other cases previously published, we think that the prognosis of this phenomenon is usually ominous. [revistaneurocirugia.com]
Etiology
Yield of cerebral angiography is high in diagnosing the etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Diffusion-weighted MRI may be useful in defining the pathophysiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Numerous studies have documented the incidence of stroke associated with cerebral angiography, yet the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms remain diverse. [medlink.com]
The issues of intracranial stenosis are complex, both in terms of pathophysiology and adequate management. [neuroangio.org]
Prevention
Strict adherence to meticulous angiographic technique may prevent such an angiographic complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Preventing Stroke with Cerebral Angiography This is a test that may be performed when a doctor needs more information to plan treatment after noninvasive testing. [stcharleshealthcare.org]
