Abstract
Digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard to assess both the severity and the characteristics of cerebrovascular stenoses. A full four-vessel cerebral angiography allows accurate evaluation of both extracranial and intracranial, carotid, and vertebral arteries. A comprehensive carotid diagnostic angiography is necessary as part of the carotid artery stenting procedure to provide anatomic details for strategizing the interventional approach and for anticipating potential challenges.
