Newer Developments in Endovascular Surgery in the CNS

Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss the more recent developments and applications of endovascular procedures in the CNS. In view of their recent introduction no definitive long-term conclusions can yet be derived in most instances. Therefore, we will limit ourselves to a review of the various reports, techniques, and experiences in some of these procedures, without attempting an indepth study. A review of the extensive literature and textbooks available on the clinical aspects in these topics is beyond the scope of this chapter.
