Abstract

The 1980s saw an explosion of new techniques available for interventional neuroradiology. With the advent of soft latex balloons and more sophisticated endovascular techniques, the interventional radiologist is capable of introducing catheters to almost all regions of the cerebral circulation. A great deal of experience has been gained in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain, and this type of experience has been applied to the nonoperative treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Significant enthusiasm has been generated by the prospect of treating aneurysms endo-vascularly, thereby averting many of the potential disasters that accompany surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. This form of treatment may eventually serve as a useful adjunct to open surgical approaches.
