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.
