My Neurosurgeon has only ever requested a CT Angiogram for me - not the traditional type because I have a bleeding disorder that would be too difficult to manage if something went wrong - and why my annie was clipped not coiled.
This is risk free - they just use a contrast dye and do a CT to see the blood vessels. The only good thing I can think of with a conventional angiogram in this case, though, is that if your annie needs more coils added, then they can do it while they are there. I was told that if my aneurysm had been coiled, I would have to have regular angios in case the coils compacted and needed 'refilling'. Up to you, but it may be worth having a CTA or MRA instead, and getting the angiogram later if required. Cheers Lyn |
