Three patients with nearly occluded internal carotid artery orgins were evaluated with intravenous digital subtraction angiography and subsequently had successful carotid endarterectomies. The angiographic features are described. Although conventional arterial angiography offers superior spatial resolution and selectivity, the thorough mixing of blood and contrast medium that occurs with the intravenous technique minimizes the tendency toward layering beyond a high-grade stenosis, which may occur with selective arterial injection.
