Abstract
Objective: The risk of complication of cerebral angiography has always been the focus of attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of cerebral angiography performed in the first 30 months of operational training in the endovascular neurosurgery service of a university hospital. Methods: A retrospective study evaluated 129 digital cerebral angiography examinations in 91 patients at a univeristy hospital from Southern Brazil. Results: The rate of complication was 2/129 (1.55%); of them, one (0.77%) presented a transient complication (hematoma puncture), and one (0.77%) a permanent complication with death of the patient because of an association between clotting in the middle cerebral artery and complications from the initial trauma. Conclusion: The rate of cerebral angiography complication obtained was low (1.75%) and underscores its reduced risk when performed in a neurological service even with professional in training.
