The application of computed tomographic angiography in the deep brain stimulation assisted by Robot of Stereotactic Assistant system
Abstract：Objective To evaluate the application value of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in the deep brain stimulation (DBS) assisted by Robot of Stereotactic Assistant (ROSA) system. Methods A total of 18 Parkinson's disease patients and 2 essential tremor patients undergoing DBS assisted by ROSA system. The ROSA system was used to observe the overlap of the puncture path and the vessel on the images of CTA. Results A total of 39 planned implant electrodes were successfully implanted in all 20 patients. Thirty-seven electrodes were implanted into the subthalamic nucleus and 2 into the ventral intermediate nucleus. A total of surgical planning of 17 side overlapped with vascular images of CTA, and the surgical path was readjusted. Conclusions CTA helps to improve the safety and accuracy when applied to DBS assisted by ROSA system.
