Our study highlights the safety and diagnostic benefits of dcDSA in characterizing the broad spectrum of BHS pathology encountered in clinical practice. This technique offers a powerful means to evaluate changes in cerebral blood flow and cervical arterial morphology in real time, overcoming the constraints of static imaging methods. Our findings pave the way for further studies on dcDSA to enhance cross-sectional imaging methods for the characterization of BHS and other dynamic vascular occlusion syndromes.
