Abstract

Anesthesiologists are asked with increasing frequency to assist with cases involving interventional neuroradiology (INR). The anesthesia team should be aware of potential complications. Rarely, problems such as stroke from coil dislodgement, glue embolization, cranial vessel dissection, acute hemorrhage from occult large vessel dissection, undiagnosed coagulopathy, groin hematoma, and reperfusion edema may occur. This section will focus on three more common complications associated with neuroradiologic procedures: (1) acute reactions to contrast medium, (2) contrast-induced nephropathy, and (3) periprocedural arterial hypertension.
