ANGIOS
May 21^st, 2004 at 2:19pm

I have a question that has probably been answered on here before:

For follow-up post op, I know most of you go about once a year for MRI and MRA, right?

Do you ever have angiograms done? I am curious if it would be benefical?

HELP!

All I've had are MRA/MRI and a SPECT Scan since surgery. They didn't have spect scans (I don't think) when I was dx, but I had one done about 4 years ago.

Well, any input on tests would be appreciated!

Take Care, and thank you in advance!

Hi Sara!

Louise never had a follow up angio. She did have a follow up MR one year post surgery and her doctor said it looked so good that he didn´t want to put her through an angio if not needed. I guess if she starts having symtoms and the MR doesn´t look perfect they will give her an angio, or thats what I will demand. From this board I understand it looks very different from patient to patient and I think also from doctor to doctor.
Please let me know if you find out there is a "standard proceedure" about follow up tests because I am as confused as you on this!

He said he will determine what test I need to do on a yearly basis, if any, after this 2nd angio. -Shari

It would be interesting to know. Nancy
