Abstract
Early identification of an intracranial vascular malformation (IVM; brain or pial/dural arteriovenous malformations/fistulae, and aneurysms) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) may improve outcome if treatment can prevent recurrence. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) is the reference standard for detection of IVMs as the cause of ICH. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) are less invasive than IADSA and may be as accurate. We performed a systematic review of the diagnostic test accuracy of CTA and MRA compared with IADSA for the detection of IVMs as a cause of ICH. We searched MEDLINE (1948 to August 2013), EMBASE (1980 to August 2013), MEDION (August 2013), the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (August 2013), …
