Abstract

The review provides information on the possibilities and significance of computed tomography (CT) angiography as a method of postoperative control of cerebral aneurysms after treatment (surgical clipping or endovascular embolization). The comparison of the diagnostic value of CT and cerebral angiography as a routine method of postoperative control is shown. The possibilities of improving the methods of scanning and post-processing in the framework of CT angiography are described for better visualization of the completeness of aneurysm shutdown, as well as minimizing artifacts from surgical clips and coils.

Highlights

В обзоре представлена информация о возможностях и значимости применения компьютерной томографической ангиографии (КТА) как метода послеоперационного контроля церебральных аневризм после хирургического клипирования или эндоваскулярной эмболизации

КТА является полезным методом для наблюдения за пациентами с клипированными аневризмами, однако, учитывая вероятность пропуска остаточной шейки и аневризмы малых размеров, в спорных случаях рекомендовано выполнение церебральной ангиографии (ЦАГ) [12]
