20 months ago coiled aneurysm. i am worried about electrodes being placed on my head for retina angiogram test incase it affects my platinum coils. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: I am guessing you are being tested for retinal function. This will involve flashing lights and electrodes to pick up the signal. An alternative test is for nerve transmission with flashing lights and electrodes on the back of the head. Neither of these tests will interact with your platinum coils. Enjoy the flashing lights.
