ABSTRACT

Interventional neuroradiology is a high-risk, high-yield field with small margins for catastrophic errors. A wider range of complex vascular disorders of the brain, spine, head, and neck are now treatable with new endovascular technology. This article describes new tools and techniques in this ever-expanding field.
