Abstract

During 1987 and 1988 nearly 350 interventional neuroradiological procedures were performed in slightly more than 200 patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital. The diseases treated included bleeding, tumors, craniofacial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), aneurysms, vasospasm, and stenotic cerebral vascular disease, with most of these patients having brain AVMs. During this period there has been a shift from treating for heroic and palliative indications to giving adjuvant and definitive treatment.
