Interventional Neuroradiology
Interventional neuroradiology, also called surgical neuroangiography or endovascular neurosurgery, is an evolving subspecialty area that utilizes transvascular catheter interventions to treat a variety of vascular lesions involving the brain, head and neck, and spinal cord and column. These are complex and demanding procedures and are often coordinated by teams of specialists from neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology.
Originally developed primarily to support conventional surgical therapies, these techniques are gaining increased acceptance as complementary, and in some cases, preferred therapy for various neurological disorders. Improved clinical outcomes are due in part to concurrent technological advances, such as new embolic agents and smaller, softer and more maneuverable microcatheters.
Evolving into a highly effective treatment option for many patients, interventional neuroradiology is helping to save lives and minimize long-term effects of various neurological illnesses and disorders, including stroke. CNI is a leader in this emerging field of neurological care and offers the latest technology and techniques available to treat patients. Learn more.
