A Review of Robotic Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional neuroradiology.

Interventional neuroradiology continues to play an increasing role in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, the treatment of vasospasm related to subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the treatment of vascular malformations and fistulae of the brain and spine. New techniques for aneurysm embolization are examined, such as detachable coil systems, as are reports of intracranial angioplasty and superse...

Stroke review: advances in interventional neuroradiology 2004.

The year 2004 in interventional neuroradiology has been distinguished by the steady accumulation of evidence to validate the efficacy of therapeutic procedures, such as carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) for cerebrovascular atherosclerosis. There is increasing momentum to design trials that will validate the role of endovascular therapy in the treatment of acute stroke and other cerebrovasc...

Interventional neuroradiology: a neurosurgeon's perspective.

Anaesthesia for interventional neuroradiology

Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) accounts for about 5% of all strokes and may be due to congenital or acquired conditions, themost common being intracranial aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysms are present in up to 6% of the population. SAH requires a multi-disciplinary approach tomanagement, at a dedicated neurosciences centre. Patients may present with sudden-onset occipital headache (‘thunder clap’)....

Anesthesia for interventional neuroradiology.

Therapeutic interventions unique to the neuroradiology suite include the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), acute thromboembolic disease, cerebral vasospasm, and extracranial and intracranial cerebrovascular atherosclerotic disease. A recent review of the National Inpatient Sample reported a doubling of the number of endovascular cases from 1993 to ...
