Advances in interventional neuroradiology

Abstract

It is becoming clear that the complete management of cerebro-vascular disease requires practitioners who possess endovascular skills. Ever increasing numbers of vascular neurosurgeons are seeking interventional training, and the growing field of interventional stroke neurology is attracting many young neurologists. The American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology has established guidelines to ensure that these candidates receive a good grounding in the underlying radiological sciences. The discipline of interventional neuroradiology may become the model of a fruitful collaboration between multiple specialties working together for maximum patient benefit.
