Abstract
Angiography is indispensable for the selection of appropriate candidates for extra-intracranial arterial bypass (E.I.A.B.). It allows the visualization of ICA and/or MCA occlusion or inaccessible stenosis which are considered indications for E.I.A.B. Complete angiographic study also gives information about other vascular lesions and the morphology of ECA and its branches as well as collateral circulation. Moreover angiography evaluates the result of bypass. The methods of the preoperative and postoperative angiography are described.
