a) Origin :-ICA originates in the neck as a terminal branch
of the common carotid artery (CCA) at the level of the thyroid cartilage (i.e. C3 or C4 vertebrae)
-It terminates intracranially at the inferior surface of the brain by dividing into anterior & middle cerebral arteries
![Page 8: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

b) Portions :1-Cervical Portion-Extends from the bifurcation of the CCA to the
skull base-In this section , the artery lies in the carotid
sheath with the internal jugular vein (IJV) laterally , the vagus nerve & the cranial root of the accessory nerve “XIth” (which travels with Xth) run posteriorly & between these vessels
![Page 13: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

2-Petrous Portion-The petrous segment of the internal carotid
artery consists of a vertical and a horizontal portion
-It enters the skull base at the exocranial opening of the carotid canal , ascends approximately 1 cm (vertical portion) and then turns anteromedially until it enters the intracranial space at the foramen lacerum (horizontal portion)
![Page 17: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
-Branches :Angiographically , branches of the petrous
internal carotid artery are uncommon but at least three possible branches are worth remembering :
1-Caroticotympanic Branch2-Mandibulovidian Trunk3-Variant Stapedial Artery
![Page 18: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

3-Cavernous Segment-Following its petrous passage , the ICA enters the
cavernous sinus and lies medial to the Gasserian ganglion , the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve and the oculomotor , trochlear and abducens cranial nerves
-It runs horizontally forwards and then turns superiorly and medial to the anterior clinoid process , passes through the dural ring and enters its final intradural and supraclinoid course
![Page 22: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

4-Intradural Portion-The supraclinoid portion of the ICA is intradural , the
artery having entered the subarachnoid space after crossing the dural ring medial to the anterior clinoid process
-It turns posteriorly and runs lateral to the optic nerve to terminate by dividing into anterior and middle cerebral arteries
-From this portion originates successfully : the ophthalmic artery , the superior hypophyseal artery , the PCOM and the anterior choroidal arteries

Vertebral Artery1-Origin :-They are the first branch of the subclavian
arteries , arise from its superior aspect
![Page 80: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
2-Course :-Arise from the superior aspect of the subclavian
artery and run vertically and posteriorly to the level of the sixth cervical vertebra (C6) (V1) where they enter the foramen in the transverse process
-The VA then runs superiorly in the vertebral canal passing through foramina in the transverse processes of all the upper cervical vertebrae (V2)
![Page 81: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
-After leaving the superior border of the foramen of the atlas (C2) , it runs horizontally and posteriorly to pass through the more laterally positioned foramen of the axis (C1) and then turns medially to the foramen magnum (V3)
-There , it penetrates the atlantooccipital membrane and dura to enter the cranial cavity through the foramen magnum and then runs upwards and medially to terminate as the basilar artery , formed by joining its contralateral counterpart anterior to the upper border of the medulla oblongata (V4)

Venous Drainage
![Page 130: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Intracranial VeinsThere are five types of intracranial veins :1-Diploic Veins2-Emissary Veins3-Meningeal Veins4-Dural Venous Sinuses 5-Cerebral Veins
![Page 131: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
1-Diploic Veins :-These are relatively large thin-walled
endothelial lined channels which run between the inner and outer table of the skull , i.e. in the diploe
-Communicate with the overlying scalp veins and with the underlying meningeal veins and dural sinuses
![Page 132: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)

2-Emissary Veins :-These are connecting veins between
extracranial veins , diploic veins and the intracranial meningeal veins and sinuses
-They are concentrated around the major dural sinuses , particularly parasagittal to the superior sagittal sinus and around the sigmoid sinus
![Page 136: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)

3-Meningeal Veins :-The meningeal veins form a plexus in the outer
layer of dura and between it and the periosteum of the inner table of the skull
![Page 138: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)

4-Dural Venous Sinuses :-Sinuses are formed within two layers of dura
and drain the veins of the brain , the meninges and the cranium principally into the internal jugular vein
![Page 140: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)

Aneurysm
![Page 147: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Endovascular Treatments of Intracranial Aneurysms
1-Aim of Treatment2-Parent Artery Occlusion3-Endosaccular Embolization4-Adjuvant Endovascular Treatments
![Page 148: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
1-Aim of Treatment :-The reason to treat is the risk of rebleeding and the aim
is to exclude the aneurysm from the arterial circulation without compromising any perfusion territory
-Endovascular treatments to occlude aneurysms can be divided into those than involve occlusion of the parent artery and those that preserve it , we are rapidly progressing to the point when the former is largely obsolete , but it is likely to retain a limited role for some time yet
![Page 149: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
2-Parent Artery Occlusion :a) Techniqueb) Indicationsc) Complications
![Page 150: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
a) Technique :-Occlusion of the aneurysm parent artery is an
effective method of inducing thrombosis and preventing aneurysm growth and rupture
-Endovascular arterial occlusion has replaced surgical ligation because prior temporary balloon occlusion allows assessment of collateral blood flow and is safer
-Occlusion is generally performed at the level of the aneurysm neck or immediately proximal to the neck
![Page 151: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/151.jpg)
b) Indications :1-Giant secular aneurysms with wide necks and
heavily calcified walls2-Wide-necked & fusiform aneurysms3-Distal aneurysms above the level of the circle
of Willis on small arteries4-Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms & infectious
aneurysms5-Failed endosaccular embolization
![Page 152: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/152.jpg)

c) Complications :-Complications are :1-Transient neurological deficit (7.25-10.3 %)2-Permanent deficits (1.5-4.4 %)
![Page 154: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)

a) Technique :-Coil embolization is performed under general
anaesthesia so the patients can be adequately monitored and immobilized
-Selective catheterization of the aneurysm sac is performed after systemic anticoagulation (by bolus injection or infusion of heparin) and packing is usually performed by placing large initial coils into which smaller coils are packed
![Page 156: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)

b) Complications :1-Periprocedural Complications2-Delayed Complications
![Page 160: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
1-Periprocedural Complications :a) Aneurysm Ruptureb) Thromboembolic Events
![Page 161: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)

2-Delayed Complications :a) Aneurysm Rebleedingb) Rupture of Previously Unruptured Aneurysmsc) Exacerbation of compression syndromesd) Hydrocephaluse) Sterile meningitic reaction adjacent to the thrombosed
aneurysmf) Transient ischemic episodesg) Radiation induced alopeciah) Seizuresi) Coil compaction causing aneurysms recurrence
![Page 163: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
5-Adjuvant Endovascular Treatments :-Coil embolization for a minority of aneurysms isn’t
possible because of their anatomy-The features that make a particular aneurysm
uncoilable are :a) Wide neckb) Extreme sizec) Branch arteries arising from within the sacd) Fusiform shape-Stent & Coils and Flow Diverters
![Page 164: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
a) Stent & Coil :-Placing a stent in the parent artery is a logical solution
to the problem of retaining coils in sessile very wide-necked aneurysms
-Initially , the combined use of coils and stents was confined to treatments of unruptured aneurysms because of the need to place patients on antiplatelet drugs (in addition to periprocedural heparin) as prophylaxis against thrombosis within the stent
![Page 165: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)

b) Balloon-Assisted Coiling :-Balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) which is also known
as (the remodelling technique) involves placement of a suitably sized compliant balloon across the aneurysm neck during coil deployment , the balloon is used to retain coils within the aneurysm to compress their profile at the neck (i.e. remodelling) and to be available to arrest blood flow should rupture occur during embolization
![Page 169: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)

c) Flow Diverters :-Flow diverters have been developed to treat
intracranial aneurysms-These endovascular devices are placed within
the parent artery rather than the aneurysm sac
-They take advantage of altering hemodynamics at the aneurysm / parent vessel interface resulting in gradual thrombosis of the aneurysm occurring over time
![Page 172: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/172.jpg)

Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM)
![Page 175: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
Treatment of Brain AVM-The principle aim of treatment is to eliminate the
lifelong risk of hemorrhage-The assumption underlying any form of intervention is
that complete obliteration / removal of the BAVM means that the patient is no longer at risk of future hemorrhage
-Incomplete treatment risks recurrence and future bleeding
-The effects of anatomical cure on other symptoms are less certain
![Page 176: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)

Embolisation-Embolisation is used alone or as an adjuvant
treatment combined with surgery or radiotherapy
-The goals of treatment are different if it is attempted for complete cure , to facilitate surgery or radiotherapy or used as palliative treatment
![Page 178: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)

Stroke
![Page 180: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)
Treatment of Acute Stroke1-Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Stroke2-Intra-arterial Thrombolysis for Acute Stroke3-Combined Intravenous and Intra-arterial
Thrombolysis4-Stent Retrieval Devices
![Page 181: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/181.jpg)
1-Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Stroke :-More recent trials of intravenous (IV)
thrombolysis have used rtPA-They suggest that the treatment is effective if
instigated in the first few hours after the stroke
![Page 182: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/182.jpg)
2-Intra-arterial Thrombolysis for Acute Stroke :-The rationale of intra-arterial (IA) thrombolysis
is to target the drug to the site of thrombosis-Its goal is the same as intravenous treatment ,
i.e. to limit the area of infarcted parenchyma and to enhance the survival of any functionally disabled cerebral tissue in the surrounding ischaemic penumbra
![Page 183: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/183.jpg)
3-Combined Intravenous and Intra-arterial Thrombolysis :
-Combination treatment or ‘bridging’ therapy in which IV rtPA is given during investigations and triage for possible IA treatment , is widely practised
![Page 184: Cerebral Vascular Anatomy and Technique](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b13a760da3da068bbebf/html5/thumbnails/184.jpg)
4-Stent Retrieval Devices :-The technique involves passing a microcatheter (over a
standard guidewire) through the thrombus and then delivering the retrievable stent device across the occluded segment
-The stent device is deployed by retrieving the microcatheter, and then a period of 3-5 min should be allowed for the clot to become entrapped within the frame of the device
-The device (and contained thrombus) is then retrieved during the arrest of blood flow in the proximal artery
