Neuroendovascular Surgery is a subspecialty within the fields of radiology and neurosurgery that manages and treats complex neurologic lesions using minimally invasive techniques. Interventionists treat lesions from within rather than from outside, by delicately threading small catheters through veins and arteries. This less-invasive approach often translates into shorter recovery times and more effective results. Treatments include:
- Endovascular aneurysm repair
- Angioplasty/pharmacological vasodilatation for subarachnoid hemorrhage vasospasm
- Mechanical/pharmacological revascularization for acute stroke
- Angioplasty/stenting for intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic disease
- Endovascular repair of post traumatic and neoplastic-related vascular injuries
- Embolization of vascular malformations of the brain, head and neck, spine
- Embolization of brain neoplasms, head and neck neoplasms and spine neoplasms
