Abstract

Highlights: Perfusion parameters provide clinically relevant data about brain parenchyma. 2DAP allows for real-time assessment of endovascular treatment efficacy. 2DAP can be utilized intraoperatively and repeatedly for real-time feedback. Abstract: Two-dimensional angiographic perfusion imaging (2DAP) is a new technique permitting perfusion imaging during angiography, and has been used to study cerebral vasospasm. Here we report our experience with this technique following angioplasty and stent placement in a patient with symptomatic and medically refractory stenosis of the right supraclinoid internal carotid artery. We found that intraprocedural angiographic perfusion imaging provided real-time and objective evidence of improved cerebral perfusion during intervention. Following treatment, the patient remains symptom-free at last follow-up.
