Description
Wenzler and co-authors survey Dutch specialists about a diagnostic dilemma: a burst blood vessel bleeds around the brain, yet the first angiogram finds no source. Guidelines advise repeat imaging, but they do not settle when, how often, or with which scan, and the gold-standard test is invasive.
Thirty-one of sixty-seven invited physicians answered. Most preferred repeating the invasive angiogram, though most also said they would accept non-invasive scans as standard if proven cost-effective. The acceptable miss rate was a median of two percent. Opinions varied widely between doctors. The authors say the variation itself is the finding: this corner of stroke care needs comparative research and standardization.
