Detection of an Endovascular Treatment Target in Patients With an Acute, Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

The DSA is the goldstandard for the visualization of brain vessels. For performing a diagnostic cerebral DSA, the femoral artery of the patient will be punctured in the groin. Over this arterial access a catheter will be advanced under fluoroscopy guidance to the target vessel in the brain. After navigation to the targeted brain vessel, contrast media will be injected over the catheter into the vessel. The efflux of the contrast media will be monitored and visualized with fluoroscopy. The additional radiation to the patient due to the DSA will be approx. 1.1 mSv. The duration of the DSA will be 15 to 20 minutes.
