Treatment of vascular brain diseases - intracranial aneurysm (IA) and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) - has an important medical and social value.
Purpose. To evaluate the opportunities and advantages of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA) and arteriovenous malformations (AVM) using three-dimensional navigation (3D-roadmapping).
Materials and methods. During 2010-2013 years 103 embolizations of IA and AVM in 88 patients were performed in our angiography department. 3D-roadmapping technique was applied for guidance of endovascular tools in cerebral arteries and catheterization the IA cavity and AVM-feeding arteries during the procedure.
Results. Endovascular interventions with 3D-roadmapping were performed in 65 (63%) cases. Complex algorithm of diagnosis and endovascular treatment of IA and AVM using 3D-roadmapping was introduced.
Conclusion. Our experience of endovascular embolization of IA and AVM with 3D-roadmapping convincingly showed that usage of this technique is possible and effective. In comparison with two-dimensional navigation there was a tendency in reduction of the effective exposure dose, also there was a statistically significant decrease of amount of contrast material, and of time for superselective catheterization of AVM-feeding arteries and IA cavity.
Keywords: 3D-roadmapping, intracranial aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, embolization.
