Intraoperative angiography in carotid artery reconstruction-Pathological findings, reliability and importance of the procedure

CONCLUSION: The ad hoc evaluation of intraoperative completion angiography by surgeons missed a substantial number also of occluding and severely stenosing pathologies. Angiography is not suitable for the detection of nonocclusive and low-grade stenosing cases of operative inaccessibility. Postoperative color-coded duplex sonography is an adequate tool for surgical quality control.PMID:33852016 | DOI:10.1007/s00104-021-01403-y
