Diagnostic value of digital subtraction angiography for vertebral artery hypoplasia
Objective To determine the diagnostic value of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH). Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out in 500 cases of ischemic stroke patients undergoing DSA examination in our department from 2011 to 2012. VAH was divided into 5 types according to the results of DSA. Based on manifestation according t
o the above classification
the 500 patients were divided into anterior circulation territory infarction group (n=362) and posterior circulation territory infarction group (n=138). The presence or absence of other concomitant risk factors were assessed for all patients. The percentages of VAH among patients with anterior/posterior circulation territory infarction and those with different VAH types
and the developing proportion of the posterior communicating artery (PCA) were analyzed. Results Among the 362 patients with anterior circulation territory infarction
there were 61 cases (16.85%) having VAH
while for the 138 patients with posterior circulation territory infarction
47 ones (34.06%) had VAH
with the later significantly larger than the former (
P
0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in smoking
hypertension
diabetes and hyperlipidemia (
P
0.05). Among the 108 VAH patients out of 500
VAH was most common on the right side (61.11%) and then left side (27.78%)
and the bilateral VAH was rare (11.11%). VAH typeⅠwas predominant (41.67%)
type Ⅲ the second (22.22%)
and type Ⅳ and Ⅴaccounted for 15.74% and 11.11% respectively
while
type Ⅱ was only 9.26%. VAH patients were significantly more common with developing PCA than non-VAH patients (
P
0.05). Conclusion VAH may be one of risk factors for posterior circulation territory infarction. DSA can diagnose all the type of VAH and the opening situation of PCA clearly
and has important significance in the diagnosis of VAH.
