Which of the following is NOT considered a major complication of cerebrovascular angiography?

In the context of cerebrovascular angiography, major complications typically refer to severe, significant adverse outcomes that can directly impact a patient's health and recovery after the procedure. Death, stroke, and renal failure are recognized as serious complications due to their potential for significant morbidity and mortality.

Inadvertent venous puncture, while it may occur during the procedure, does not carry the same level of severity or risk as the other complications listed. It is generally a minor complication that can usually be managed with minimal impact on the patient’s overall condition. This distinguishes it from the major complications that can have long-lasting or critical consequences for patient health. Therefore, identifying inadvertent venous puncture as not being a major complication aligns with the definitions of what constitutes a significant risk in cerebrovascular procedures.
