Interventional neuroradiology uses fluoroscopy to gain access to the intracranial circulation by way of a percutaneous transfemoral catheter.The endovascular approach to the treatment of both ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms is endosaccular occlusion.This is an excellent technique for aneurysms that are complex,have a neck that is too short for clipping,or are difficult to reach via traditional craniotomy.This approach is less invasive than the traditional open craniotomy with identification and clipping of the aneurysm followed by cranial closure and extended recovery.Select the true endovascular procedure that has been designed as an alternative to its open surgical option.

Although surgical excision is still the standard treatment for intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM),surgical morbidity may be decreased by using endovascular embolization preoperatively in select cases.Endovascular embolization is also advantageous when employed as a preoperative treatment for select intracranial tumor resections.Endovascular coil occlusion of the aneurysm is appropriate if the aneurysm is deemed treatable by either endovascular coiling or surgical clipping.There are several neurovascular disorders that are amenable to an endovascular procedure.
