A member asked:
Since coiling of brain aneurysm year ago, i have had 3 mra (without contrast)which showed occlusion. should i be having a ct angiogram in the future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain aneurysm : If the aneurysm is completely occluded one year after coiling then it is very unlikely that the coils will become compacted and the aneurysm will recur. CT angiography requires contrast dye which is contraindicated in people with iodine allergy or kidney disease. Sometimes CTA can give better resolution than MRA and visa versa. Discuss with your neurosurgeon the best imaging study for you.
