This is the report:
**Final Report**

ICD Codes / Adm.Diagnosis: / SDH Subarachnoid bleed (HCC)

Examination: XA CAROTID/CRBRL BIL W CATH - - May 15 2015 7:37PM

Accession No:

Reason: SAH

REPORT:

CLINICAL INDICATION: Subarachnoid hemorrhage.

OPERATORS:

COMPLICATIONS: None.

CONSCIOUS SEDATION: Pre-procedure evaluation confirmed that the patient was

an appropriate candidate for conscious sedation. Adequate sedation was

maintained during the entire procedure by the nurse. Vital signs, pulse

oximetry, and response to verbal commands were monitored and recorded by

the nurse throughout the procedure and the recovery period. The flow sheet

was placed in the medical record including the medications and dosages used.

The patient returned to baseline neurologic and physiologic status prior to

leaving the department. No immediate sedation related complications were

noted.

PROCEDURE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure were

explained to the patient and the family, and written informed consent was

obtained. The patient was placed supine on the angiographic table, and the

right groin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner. The skin

and subcutaneous tissues were anesthetized with local anesthesia. Using a

5F micropuncture set the right common femoral artery was punctured and

cannulated and a 5 French arterial sheath was placed over a guidewire. The

sheath was attached to continuous heparinized saline flush. A 5F diagnostic

catheter was placed through the sheath and advanced over a Terumo guidewire

into the aortic arch.

Selective catheterization of the following blood vessels was performed (see

below). At the end of the procedure, hemostasis was achieved.

The sheath was pulled down into the right external iliac artery, and an RAO

and lateral angiogram of the right iliofemoral arterial system was

performed. After verifying that the sheath entered in an appropriate place,

the sheath was exchanged in a sterile fashion for a Mynx closure device, and

hemostasis was achieved without difficulty.

DIAGNOSTIC ARTERIOGRAPHY AND SUPERVISION AND INTERPRETATION OF DIAGNOSTIC

ARTERIOGRAMS:

RIGHT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY: The catheter was used to select the right

common carotid artery. DSA in the AP and lateral views of the cervical

region were performed. The distal common, proximal internal, and imaged

external carotid arteries are normal in caliber and contour. The carotid

bifurcation is widely patent.

RIGHT INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into the right

internal carotid artery. DSA in the AP, lateral, and oblique views of the

intracranial circulation were performed. The intracranial segments of the

right internal carotid artery are normal in contour and caliber. The

ophthalmic artery is widely patent. There is a prominent posterior

communicating artery, with robust arterial supply to the right posterior

cerebral artery territory. The right posterior cerebral artery and its

branches are normal in caliber and contour. Note reflux down a hypoplastic

right P1 segment. The middle cerebral artery and its branch vessels are

normal in caliber and contour. The A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral

artery is absent, with no opacification of the anterior cerebral artery

territory from this injection. No evidence of aneurysm, vascular

malformation, or arteriovenous shunting. Dynamic imaging demonstrates a

normal capillary phase. The intracranial venous structures opacify

appropriately and appear patent.

RIGHT EXTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into the right

external carotid artery. DSA in the AP and lateral views of the extracranial

circulation was performed. The imaged branches of the external carotid

artery are normal in caliber and branching pattern. No arteriovenous

shunting.

RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into the right subclavian

artery. DSA imaging was performed in the AP and lateral projections, with

imaging over the cervical region. The right subclavian artery is normal in

caliber and contour. The right vertebral artery is widely patent at its

origin and normal in caliber throughout its cervical course. The

thyrocervical and costocervical trunks are widely patent. The internal

mammary artery is widely patent at its origin.

RIGHT VERTEBRAL ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into right vertebral

artery. DSA in the AP and lateral views of the intracranial circulation

were performed. The intracranial segment of the right vertebral artery is

normal in contour and caliber. The right PICA is widely patent. The basilar

artery is normal in caliber and contour. The vertebrobasilar branch vessels

are normal in caliber and contour. The P1 segment of the right posterior

cerebral artery is hypoplastic, with flash filling of the right posterior

cerebral artery territory. The left posterior cerebral artery and its branch

vessels are normal in caliber and contour. No evidence of aneurysm, vascular

malformation, or arteriovenous shunting. Dynamic imaging demonstrates a

normal capillary phase. The intracranial venous structures opacified

appropriately and appear patent.

LEFT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY: The catheter was used to select the left common

carotid artery. DSA in the AP and lateral views of the cervical region were

performed. The distal common, proximal internal, and imaged external carotid

arteries are normal in caliber and contour. The carotid bifurcation is

widely patent.

LEFT INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into the left

internal carotid artery. DSA in the AP, lateral, and oblique views of the

intracranial circulation were performed. The intracranial segments of the

left internal carotid artery are normal in contour and caliber. The middle

cerebral artery and its branch vessels are normal in caliber and contour.

The anterior cerebral artery and its branch vessels are normal in caliber

and contour. The anterior communicating artery appears normal, with no

evidence of aneurysm. There is robust filling of the right A2 and distal

anterior cerebral artery segments across anterior communicating artery, with

normal caliber and branching pattern. No evidence of aneurysm, vascular

malformation, or arteriovenous shunting. Dynamic imaging demonstrates a

normal capillary phase. The intracranial venous structures opacify

appropriately and appear patent.

LEFT EXTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into the left

external carotid artery. DSA in the AP and lateral views of the extracranial

circulation was performed. The imaged branches of the external carotid

artery are normal in caliber and branching pattern. No arteriovenous

shunting.

LEFT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into the left subclavian

artery. DSA imaging was performed in the AP and lateral projections, with

imaging over the cervical region. There is a focal eccentric stenosis of the

subclavian artery, measuring 50%. The remainder of the subclavian artery is

normal in caliber and contour. The left vertebral artery is widely patent at

its origin and normal in caliber throughout its cervical course. The

thyrocervical and costocervical trunks are widely patent. The internal

mammary artery is widely patent at its origin.

LEFT VERTEBRAL ARTERY: The catheter was advanced into left vertebral

artery. DSA in the AP, lateral, and oblique views of the intracranial

circulation were performed. The intracranial left vertebral artery is normal

in contour and caliber. The left PICA is widely patent. The basilar artery

is normal in caliber and contour. The vertebrobasilar branch vessels are

normal in caliber and contour. The P1 segment of the right posterior

cerebral artery is hypoplastic, with flash filling of the right posterior

cerebral artery territory. The left posterior cerebral artery and its branch

vessels are normal in caliber and contour. No evidence of aneurysm, vascular

malformation, or arteriovenous shunting. Dynamic imaging demonstrates a

normal capillary phase. The intracranial venous structures opacified

appropriately and appear patent.

RIGHT EXTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY: The catheter was removed, and the sheath was

left in place. DSA in the lateral and RAO views of the right iliofemoral

arterial system were performed. The arteries of the iliofemoral system are

normal in caliber. Imaging demonstrates appropriate positioning of the

arteriotomy for closure device placement.

IMPRESSION:

1. No evidence of aneurysm, arteriovenous confirmation, or dural

arteriovenous fistula.

2. No evidence of cerebral vasculitis or cortical vein thrombosis.
