Figure 4 Pre-embolization DSA. (A and B) Right common carotid artery injection: anterior-posterior (A) and lateral (B) projections demonstrating right ICA injury. (C) Left ICA injection: anterior-posterior projection demonstrating robust collateral reconstitution of the intracranial right ICA circulation through the right posterior communicating artery and anterior communicating artery.
