LACERDA GALLARDO, Angel J; VEGA BASULTO, Sergio e LOPEZ DELGADO, Hubiel. Angiografía cerebral y muerte encefálica. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 1997, vol.36, n.2, pp. 96-101. ISSN 1561-2945.
This work was carried out as a part of a study protocol which was applied to 57 patients treated at the Neurosurgical Servicie of "Manuel Ascunce Domenech" Clinicosurgical Hospital, Camagüey during January, 1993 and December, 1994. Angiographic studies were performed to 50 patients (87.72 %) from which 55 cerebral angiograms were obtained. In 49 examinations (89 %) absenece of brain blood flow was observed with different types of vascular patterns in the extra and intracraneal inner carotid artery proving its usefulness for the diagnosis of brain death. In 3 patients with osteoclastic cranioctomies greater than 5 cm, the absence of cerebral blood flow was not proved despite the clinical status of brain death. No complications were observed during the procedure thanks to the so careful technique that was used. Vascular patterns evidenced suggest that it is necessary to perform a more detailed study to compare this imagen with the parameter of increased intracranial pressure
