The routine use of intraoperative angiography (IA) is still surrounded by controversy. We prospectively performed IAs in consecutive patients undergoing surgery for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and dural arteriovenous fistulae. We calculated the percentage of identified residual pathologies, the cases requiring further surgical intervention, and the complication rates associated with the procedure. We also recorded radiation dose received by personnel during IA for comparison with elective procedures. If our review supported the routine use of IA, recommendations should be tempered by radiation dose to personnel regarding whether or not annual exposure would go beyond recommended limits and whether or not radiation doses indicate a need for specialized operating rooms.
