![]() IA-CTA is a new technique that seems helpful to reach a better understanding of SMVs and may help to tailor more precisely their treatment. In 77 % of the cases, the Adamkiewicz artery was satisfactorily seen at the same time on IA-CTA. Intermodality (IA-CTA/DSA) agreement was excellent for the level and side of the shunt point, as well as for the SVM subtype evaluation. Interrater agreement was good for the location of the SVMs' level. The IA-CTA was feasible in all cases and depicted the SVM in all except one case (92 %). Then a consensus was obtained between the 2 reviewers the results of the IA-CTA were finally compared with those of the full spinal DSA evaluated in consensus. ![]() Two independent observers evaluated the angioarchitecture of the SVMs and the visualisation of both the Adamkiewicz artery and the anterior spinal artery. Thirteen patients (8 males, 5 females, mean age: 56 y) with suspected SVM underwent IA-CTAs by direct intra-aortic iodinated contrast media injection (5 cc/s 100 cc) via an arterial femoral or humeral access.
