Background To investigate the discrepancy between two-dimensional digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography for small (<5 mm) cerebral aneurysms and the impact on decision making among neuro-interventional experts as evaluated by online questionnaire. Materials and methods Eight small (<5 mm) ruptured aneurysms were visually identified in 16 image sets in either two-dimensional or three-dimensional format for placement in a questionnaire for 11 invited neuro-interventionalists. For each set, two questions were posed: Question 1: “Which of the following is the preferred treatment choice: simple coiling, balloon remodeling or stent assisted coiling?”; Question 2: “Is it achievable to secure the aneurysm with pure simple coiling?” The discrepancies of angio-architecture parameters and treatment choices between two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography and three-dimensional rotational angiography were evaluated. Results In all eight cases, the neck images via three-dimensional rotational angiography were larger than two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography with a mean difference of 0.95 mm. All eight cases analyzed with three-dimensional rotational angiography, but only one case with two-dimensional-digital subtraction angiography were classified as wide-neck aneurysms with dome-to-neck ratio < 1.5. The treatment choices based on the two-dimensional or three-dimensional information were different in 56 of 88 (63.6%) paired answers. Simple coiling was the preferred choice in 66 (75%) and 26 (29.6%) answers based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional information, respectively. Three types of angio-architecture with a narrow gap between the aneurysm sidewall and parent artery were proposed as an explanation for neck overestimation with three-dimensional rotational angiography. Conclusions Aneurysm neck overestimation with three-dimensional rotational angiography predisposed neuro-interventionalists to more complex treatment techniques. Additional two-dimensional information is crucial for endovascular treatment planning for small cerebral aneurysms.

Three dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques providing volume rendered 3D images from rotational angiography data now exist. We report the design and early experience with one such system. 237 aneurysms were studied. Information was obtained on the morphology of the aneurysm itself and the vascular architecture in and around the aneurysm. 218 (92%) aneurysms went on to have endovascular treatment. The 3D images provided valuable information on aneurysmal anatomy, including relationships with the parent and adjacent vessels. This technique allowed fast and safe decision-making regarding the feasibility of endovascular or surgical treatment and provided useful information for performing the chosen treatment.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional reconstructed images from rotational subtraction angiography in the surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. METHODS Twenty-two patients with 34 intracranial aneurysms underwent biplane angiography (40 degrees per s, 4.5 degrees per image, 8.8 frames per s). Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructed images were obtained at a separate Advantage 3.1 workstation (General Electric, Milwaukee, WI) after the rotational images were transferred. The available visualization techniques included maximum intensity projection, shaded surface display, and virtual endoluminal view. All images were evaluated in correlation with intrasurgical visual data recorded on videotapes. RESULTS 3-D reconstructed images correlated well with surgical findings. The shape of the aneurysms, their neck size, and their relationships to the parent vessels and other branches were depicted clearly, especially compared with images obtained by two-dimensional conventional subtraction angiography and magnetic resonance angiography. CONCLUSION 3-D subtraction angiography enables the surgeon to understand the 3-D structure of lesions and is very useful in planning the surgical treatment of cerebral aneurysms.
