Abstract
- The objective is to present the management of patients with aneurysms and other intracranial vascular malformations by interventional neuroradiology (INR) techniques. Interventional neuroradiology is dedicated to the treatment of patients who present with pathologies of the brain, the face, and the spinal cord that are treatable by direct percutaneous or endovascular approaches. Indications of INR have dramatically increased over the last 20 years thanks to innovations in radiological equipments (angio suite, 3D images, etc.) and embolic materials. The endovascular treatment alone is generally curative but sometimes it will be performed before surgery to decrease its risks. Interventional neuroradiology is thus part of several multidisciplinary teams including departments of neurosurgery, neurology, intensive care, anesthesiology, vascular surgery, ENT, etc. We will present the main indication of INR that is the treatment of patients with aneurysms and other intracranial vascular malformations. In conclusion, interventional neuroradiology plays nowadays the main role for the management of patients with neurovascular diseases. Interventional neuroradiology belongs to several multidisciplinary teams and allows to diagnose, to treat, and to follow-up these patients.
