BACKGROUNDThe authors describe a noninvasive intraoperative imaging strategy of three-dimensional (3D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with intravenous (IV) contrast injection, using indocyanine green (ICG) as a test bolus, during extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery for moyamoya disease.OBSERVATIONSFour patients underwent EC-IC bypass surgery in a hybrid operating room. During the surgery, bypass patency was verified using ICG videoangiography and Doppler ultrasonography. After skin closure, the patients under anesthesia underwent IV 3D-DSA with a robotic C-arm in which the scan delay time for the 3D-DSA scan was estimated from the arrival time of ICG during the ICG videoangiography. One day after the surgery, the patients underwent magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). The IV 3D-DSA images were retrospectively compared with those obtained with other modalities. Good bypass patency was confirmed on IV 3D-DSA, ICG videoangiography, Doppler ultrasonography, and postoperative MRA in all cases. The delay time determined using ICG videoangiography as a test bolus resulted in IV 3D-DSA with adequate image quality, allowing assessment of the spatial relationships between the vessels and anastomoses from all directions.LESSONSTo evaluate bypass patency and anatomical relationships immediately after EC-IC bypass surgery, IV 3D-DSA may be a useful modality. ICG videoangiography can be used to determine the scan delay time.

Because digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is not an ideal angiographic examination for moyamoya disease in the pediatric population, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) provides a noninvasive contrast-free angiographic examination; whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides superior spatial resolution and soft-tissue contrast for lesion assessment. Ninety patients with moyamoya disease were examined by MRI and DSA to assess the distribution of lesions and their diagnostic agreement between modalities. MRI examination revealed 439 lesions. Punctate lesions were the most abundant, followed by patchy lesions. These lesions generally covered a smaller area than the abnormal-vascular corresponding brain parenchyma. Steno-occlusive changes at bilateral anterior, medial, and posterior cerebral arteries were identified by MRA and DSA. MRI showed moderate agreement in identifying lesions after steno-occlusive changes in anterior and medial cerebral arteries, and good agreement in posterior cerebral arteries; 6% to 11% of cases were misdiagnosed by MRA.
