Discrepancy between two-dimensional and three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography for the planning of endovascular coiling of small cerebral aneurysms <5 mm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the discrepancy between two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography for small (<5 mm) cerebral aneurysms and the impact on decision making among neuro-interventional experts as evaluated by online questionnaire.

Materials and methods

Eight small (<5 mm) ruptured aneurysms were visually identified in 16 image sets in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional format for placement in a questionnaire for 11 invited neuro-interventionalists. For each set, two questions were posed: Question 1: "Which of the following is the preferred treatment choice: simple coiling, balloon remodeling or stent assisted coiling?"; Question 2: "Is it achievable to secure the aneurysm with pure simple coiling?" The discrepa
