Although neuroangiography remains the criterion standard standard for the detection of and surgical/interventional planning for cerebrovascular diseases, it usually requires that patients be confined to bed rest for several hours after angiography to prevent local complications. Decreasing catheter size has reduced the risk of hemorrhagic complications associated with early ambulation after angiography. For this study, we prospectively evaluated the clinical feasibility of a 3.3F catheter/sheath system for selective neuroangiography.
