ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of digital subtraction angiography(DSA) in diagnosis and planning endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods Thirty-one children suspected with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases were treated by urokinase and dextran after they underwent DSA.Results Twenty-four cases (77%) had cerebrovascular abnormalities. Two cases had arteriovenous malformations, 1 case had posterior communicating artery aneurysm,21 cases had cerebrovascular stenosis or occlusions. Shortly after intervention therapy using urokinase,muscle strength increased by one level in 13 cases,two levels in 3 cases,3 levels in 2 cases and no effect in 4 cases. The total effective rate reached 86%. Seven patients with ischemic stroke achieved 100% recanalization. Conclusion DSA is very important in diagnosis of cerebrovascular stenosis and occlusion.
